"We've seen different curriculums come and go and yet the tradition together with embracing the modern world have remained intact.
"The traditional values of honesty and integrity, impeccable manners, presenting one's self - equipping our children for the world and never changed."
Berea Primary will celebrate its centenary in style by hosting separate grade assemblies, among other things, and blowing bubbles into the sky.
