Kurri Kurri Public School will step back in time on Friday when teachers and students dress in their best retro attire.
In keeping with the town’s main event, students will learn about life in the 1950s including art, music, dance, games and literature.
Some of the students had already tried on their retro clothes when car enthusiast Denzil Godwin brought his 1956 Chevy to the school for a bit of show and tell.
Lucky students went for a ride in the car and were amazed that there were handles that had to be turned to open the windows.
The school’s fete will coincide with the festival on Sunday.
Gates will open at 9am and the fete will include nostalgia-themed musical items, performances by dance studios and singers, as well as market stalls, rides, photo booth, vintage cars, trucks and motorbikes, food and drinks.
Entry is free and all proceeds raised from the day will go to the school.
