1958 Opening Ceremony
The College is very grateful to Leon Costermans for sharing these photos and captions. They were taken by Leon in 1958. Leon was a teacher at the school. More photos will be available in coming editions of the Alumni website page.
Audience from front. The students who wouldn’t fit the available seats were in the adjoining classrooms.
The school from the ‘oval’ bank. Note that even though the school had been occupied for three months, there is still a great mound of earth from the excavation, and the workmen’s sheds on the left above Dave Schapper’s (teacher) shoulders.

A school assembly (not on the opening day). Alan Nicol in foreground. Leo Kennedy (art teacher) on far left. Don Chalmers centre back.
