Randwick School celebrates 150 years!!

At Randwick School there is a wonderful exhibition that celebrates the 150 years of the school - it closes tomorrow Friday but I think it should be around much longer as it makes fascinating reading. The head teacher Mrs Montacute was responsible for putting it together and deserves enormous credit.

Photos: above: balloons released on Tuesday (sadly I missed the event and BBQ which was excellent by all accounts, next photo: exhibition room

I spent over 25 mins looking at the exhibition today and there was more to see - a wonderful collection of old photos, log books and more - these photos do not do credit to the exhibition!!

Photos: the log book started in 1862 - see also the arm-istice entry showing the school assembled to hear an address from the head




Photos: the front of an old geography text book then schoolchildren c1900 and other photo of children plus George Harmer son of the headmaster born 1751
