What a way to spend a Saturday. But then, a school only turns 50 once! by

I believe I heard the lady call: " Throw a wet sponge, at your teacher! "

Luckily, it was a warm day!

About MrJoop

In 1969, I enrolled in the “Art Teachers Conversion Course”. It was my first experience of formal art lessons. Soon other interests prevailed, until, I had lunch, in Hazelhurst and then enjoyed the art classes there. Culminating in my exhibition, in 2008.

    Oh what fun. Great photos Jo. It brings back memories of fetes I have organised.

  • Out in the playground, the usual activities seen and heard at school fetes, Sooz.
    In the building, in the library, honestly, intense nostalgia and a number of people catching up.
    I explained just now, to my daughter, (on the way home from a Kenny Rodgers Show), that no. I did not meet anyone I knew.
    I cannot remember how long I was in that building, when it was new. Apart from Leny and Henny, I also know that I walked to that school with Robbie. I was there such a short time!

  • O.K.It’s Rogers. I just checked. I was impressed with the way this particular audience was so keen to join in the singing.
    I have stereo-typical ideas about how Dutch audiences would join in, at the drop of a hat, but Aussie audiences are more reserved.
    But that was not the case with tonight’s audience. They were ready to join in!
