There was a whirlwind of walking sticks, hair rollers and grey hairs on Thursday, August 7, and you would be forgiven for thinking you had walked into Warramunda or Sherridan Aged Care.

However, as convincing as the costumes are, many would be quick to point out the young, fresh faces under the grey-haired wigs.

St Augustine’s College youngest students celebrated their 100th day of school by dressing their age in days ... without the back pain.

In front of parents and caregivers they danced and sung their way through one to 100 and received certificates of congratulations.

Have a look into what the celebration looked like through the Free Press camera lens.

Counting to 100 is Edie Bradley, Letty Vick and Myles Stacey.

Harvie Lloyd and Emilia Dove dance in front of friends and family.

Aaliya Salan shows off her certificate to her family.

They say the camera adds five years, but Bowie Maher and Owen Lowe look about 95 years older.

Tex Sellick is proud to get a certificate.

Harriet Hemphill and Lily Pyke watch on.

Dancing like a rocket are Lily Pyke, Olivia Hehir-Laurie and Kaurneet Dhillon.

Congratulating their friends are Lennox Davies, Jorja Chester, Annabelle Atley and Bobby Biggin.

Kaurneet Dhillon and Lennox Davies look focused.

Kyah Street doesn’t look a day over 100.
