My father was Headmaster there for a number of years. He took over from Ray Rollinson.

Russell Postlewaight Grey Main for sure, there in the 60's when you're father was head. Lived other side of Dixon park. Very short walk to school

Is Shakespear St in this pic? or was the school elsewhere back then - trying to spot our house that was at the back of college?

Carolyn Luck

Carolyn Luck
Murray Browne correct

Bruce Keddie
Grey Main School (always thought " Junior High" an awful name) with Dixon Park beyond the row of trees, High St. bridge to the left.

Graham Hay
Bruce Keddie Quite right, Grey Main until 1974 when the school opened on the new site in Joyce Crescent. The old school was renamed Greymouth Intermediate, not sure when it became Grey Junior High or when it closed.
