Misc Photos 1977 Official Gov't Shots

On 23 May, 1977, the official state government photographer from the Public Works Department visited the school and took photographs for "warranty" purposes (ie to confirm their contract with the builder) and record exactly what they had spent their $24million on.  These four are a selection of photos from that photo-shoot that managed to find their way on to Trove, the government website run by the National Library of Australia.  Strangely, only one of them is in colour.

Press: 1977 Miss Foley appointed new principal

The blog would not be complete without starting with an article about the lady who started it all - Miss Gwen Foley.  This article is dated 1977, when the school moved into permanent buildings in Goobarabah Avenue.
