Acting principal Stephanie Arundel said the day was a celebration of the students and everything they had achieved since starting school.
“Whether that's their academic achievements or social skills, we're celebrating all their learning, not just their academic learning,” Ms Arundel said.
“Their connections with their buddies and the school, and how confident they are moving around the school.”
Foundation teacher Theresa Allen said the students completed a range of 100-themed activities, including decorating a love heart with everything they loved about school.

One of the most popular activities was decorating a photocopied $100 note with what they would buy.
The most common choices included toys, lollies, a horse, a house and Lamborghini's, with toys and Lamborghini's proving to be the most popular.
Ms Allen said the students’ costumes as 100-year-olds were a highlight of the day, with students dressing the part in walking frames, sticks, suspenders, bow ties, and white and grey wigs.
One student even added a fake life alert alarm around her neck to complete the look.
“They did such a great job with getting into the spirit of it and getting all their accessories, colouring their hair or wearing glasses,” Ms Allen said.
“It's a pleasure to see them grow over these 100 days and how much they have achieved.”
