Karen Kellaway I'm at the end of the front row on left - Karen Pamment - Rosemary Straker (as she was then) at the opposite end. Good memories!
Heather Newby I remember you Karen Kellaway
Karen Kellaway Living in Canvastown, Marlborough now. Have just retired as principal of our local school. Remember you too Heather and kn ow so many of the faces in the photo you posted.
Jean Mehrtens I am in Lake Bomney caravan Park in Barmera, South Australia, on way to Lake Eyre. Crap weather but good sleeping bag.
Marion Ashby I'm in Auckland but wish I was on Rakino Island with a good fire. I can't remember everyone's name.
Joy Cox Jean Mehrtens Glad you got a good sleeping bag Im on the outskirts of the Barossa Its freezing tonight
Andy Grigg I remember you lot except for two, after all we mostly stayed in the academic class for years! I have worked in the bush mostly- jack of all trades and master of some...here and West Oz ,where my title pic came from, a Karri tree. I have a small mill at home in the Kawhaka Forest,built all from my own Rimu but semi retired now.Francie Ilton Jean Mehrtens did you live in camerons
Peter Forrest I’m in Vienna with 34c heat! Understand Sydney, where I’m usually at, is a bit chilly.Heather Newby Andy Grigg where are Lance Pocock, Ron McTaggart and Greg Holmes these days?
Peter Dennehy Heather Newby use to drink with Ron McTaggart, in the Canterbury hotel, many many years ago and wondered what happened to him.
Che Norris That's a lovely picture of them all...
Andy Grigg Haven't seen 'em since school, same for my ole mate and neighbour Malcom Langbein!
Heather Newby ive had a bit to do with Leslie McKendry
Heather Newby I remember Miss davidson used to call the boys by their surname.. Lance Pocock was called
Andy Grigg Heather Newby yeah,taught me some french.....strange fruit.
Heather Newby Andy Grigg exactly
Andy Grigg C'est la vie!
Heather Newby I was called a "cultureless Philistine" by Miss McHardy because I didn`t want to go to a Shakespeare play
Andy Grigg Hey, that's a compliment....if that's where she was at,what was she doing,living on the West Coast?
Karen Kellaway The things we remember.
Lindsay Forrest Retired after a career in pharmaceutical industry and living in Sydney. Great to see the photo and recall all those pictured. In touch with Mike Rodgers, Peter Forrest.
Get to Grey fairly regularly to see my dad (now 90) and sister.
Les Rzepecky
Les Rzepecky I'm still in Greymouth. Retired now. Have come across some in the photo over the years and still catch up with one or two who also still live on the coast.

Bruce Knight Our beloved principal denied me accreditation of UE ( I was a frequent recipient of the cane from him), so in my repeat 6B year I had many of these people in my class. Fond memories of many great times! My handle as “Yob” as I recall...

Bruce Knight Brent Tomlinson Hi Brent: Itch, Yob, Hood, Idge- I’m not sure which handle was used when! “Idge” came from “Knightsbridge” carpet, then somehow “Idge” morphed to “Itch”. As for “Yob” and “Hood”, anyone’s guess
