Below are the names - if you have a decade photo and we've got the wrong names or you an fill in the gaps could you please let the committee know by emailing matapujubilee@gmail.com

Registrations have now closed.

With less than a month to go the Jubilee Committee are busy finalising details to ensure all 400 ex-pupils, partners, current pupils, past and current staff and community members have an enjoyable weekend.

At 1pm on Saturday the parade will start. Due to generous sponsorship there will be 3 prizes - 1st $300, 2nd $200 & 3rd $100. We are hoping for a number of original floats - if you wish to enter a float and haven't already entered, please contact the Committee : matapujubilee@matapu.school.nz
