RAINBOWS End Pre-Primary School in Hillary celebrated the school’s 30th anniversary on Friday, July 7.
On the day, the staff decorated the school with balloons, and the little ones were spoiled with sweet treats and a cake to mark this milestone.

“I resigned and opened Rainbows End Pre-Primary School in 1993. At that stage, we were situated on Mount Vernon Road.”
A few years later, Anderson bought the property in First Street and converted it into a school.
She said she is happy the school has gone from strength to strength.
“Over the years, it has steadily grown in numbers and reputation. I can confidently say we have provided children with a good-quality preschool experience,” said the proud Anderson.
She thanked the teachers who ensure they provide a child-centred experience with loads of love and care.
“Our children move to big school well-prepared, confident and happy little people,” added Anderson.
