Nicole Kidman sends message to former school for 150th anniversary
Actress Nicole Kidman sent a message from Greece to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Lane Cove Public School.
Lane Cove Public School has celebrated its 150th anniversary with a special message from one of its most famous former students, the Australian actress Nicole Kidman.
According to a wire report, the students of the Sydney primary school had launched a public appeal to invite Kidman to return to her old campus to join in their milestone birthday celebrations. While the Hollywood star was unable to attend the event in person, she ensured she was part of the occasion by sending a message from Greece, where she is currently located.
The gesture from Kidman has provided a significant boost to the anniversary festivities. The details of the school's historical milestone and the exact nature of the celebrations have not been fully disclosed, but the connection to the prominent alumnus has generated considerable interest within the local community.
Lane Cove Public School, situated on Sydney's Lower North Shore, has educated generations of local children since its establishment. The 150th anniversary marks a major historical point for the institution, which has grown alongside the surrounding suburb over the past century and a half.
While the specific contents of Kidman's message have not been made public, the effort by the school's current students to reach out to the actress has proven successful. It is not yet clear if the school plans to release the video or written correspondence to the wider public as part of its ongoing anniversary archives.
Observers will now watch to see how the school community integrates this high profile tribute into its official historical records.

Every story here is free to read. Only readers keep it that way.
We take no government money, run no paywall, and answer to nobody in Spring Street. That independence is paid for by a small number of readers, not the many who benefit from it. If just one in a hundred of today's readers gave $8 a month, our Victorian politics coverage would be funded for the year.
