TUESDAY marked the day 160 years earlier when the first official school opened in Wedderburn.
Joseph Lockhart was the first headmaster, today two of his descendants are on the staff at Wedderburn College including assistant principal Dean Lockhart.
And the Lockhart name will be perpetually honoured with the name of upgraded buildings at the college now taking on the names of key school community members over 160 years.
Among them too, is former student Jo White, now the director of Canberra’s Questacon.
Member for Ripon Martha Haylett officially opened the $12.8 million upgrade of buildings and later did a formal sod turning as work continued on the new child care centre being built at the college.
