Principal Paul Bremer said last night was a great start to the celebrations and he looked forward to today's festivities.
"The cake cutting will be fantastic. Carol Leedon, a 98-year-old, who was a student here in the 1920s and the eldest pupil, will cut the cake with Zoe Driscoll, who is the youngest student after she just turned 5."
Mr Shanley said today's events, starting with the jubilee cake at 10am, would be followed by ex-pupil Alexandra Hazlehurst's speech on her school days, while kapa haka groups would perform.
Decade photos would be taken and the classrooms would be open, with guests encouraged to have a look at the displays created for the celebration.
"All the work that has gone into this weekend, by the committee, the number of volunteers and the efforts of the school have been well worth it, and it is going to be a great weekend, everyone is looking forward to all the celebrations," said Mr Shanley.
Tomorrow, an interdenominational service and plaque unveiling will be held as the last event of the jubilee weekend celebrations.
The service will be held at the Function Centre, and the school choir, as well as a special jubilee choir, will give performances.
The jubilee choir will be led by director Roger Stevenson and accompanist Margaret Cooper.
