The Bra Girls. Where are they now?


Somebody wrote on the Maroubra Bay High School Reunion Website ……._Attending a co-educational school, with girls in it, was a real eye opener.
I must admit that those times, standing around with your group, in the playground of Heartbreak High ( before the site was used as the setting for Heartbreak High,) was also a learning experience.
Last night I attended a meeting of the boys and girls, who used to be in that quadrangle, when I was there, from 1959 until the end of 1961. It’s taken 50 years and now we’re friends and will be sharing memories 7th March, 2009, in the Shannon Room, AJC Randwick.
But, in those years, it was these girls (captured by my starflash camera, in 1961) whose birthday parties I attended.
Where are they now?
You’d be surprised how, half a century later, so many things that fellow MBHS students said and did are remembered, like it was yesterday!
People are funny!

In the photo, we don’t age and the memories are so clear but only of certain moments, like the birthday party, or sitting out the front of the house, at the gate, together…..

About Ozcloggie

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.

    P.S. I’m just wondering what my fellow ex-MBHS student saw in those days!! :)

    Great memories, Well done.

  • Thanks Barnsis. Being involved with the reunion (again) , I see such a variety of answers to my question: What do you remember most about being at Maroubra Bay High School.
    Reactions range from great friendships and fun being so close to Maroubra Beach to being glad to have left.
    It was all a bit extra special for me, as I was still getting used to not only being a teenager (like. e.g. Dobie Gillis) but being in another country to the one where I’d been a boy.
