One can see this honour board is going to last twice as long as the other two, with only one student added annually. It also is the oldest honour board with its initial entry in 1976. The first year 7 students had 6 chances to make it on to the board (Pam Byles and Michael Martin didn't repeat school years: Pam got it in Years 7 & 8 and Michael got it in Years 11 & 12).
I am impressed by Michael Martin's efforts. When he first enrolled at GHS he was in class 7E6. He rose up through the ranks and ended up achieving Dux of the Form once he got to his senior years. Top effort, Michael. Either that, or there was a terrible error putting you into 7E6 in the first place?
The Michael Martin who was in 7E6 is not the same person as Michael Martin, School Captain, Dux and all round great guy. Michael, Justin and Jeff arrived at Gorokan High at the beginning of Year 11 after previously attending St. Edwards Catholic Boys in Gosford. That school only went to Year 10 in those days. I think that the other Michael was in Year 11 with us but left sometime before the end of Year 12. There seemed to be a lot of people of the same ability spread throughout the whole Year 7 cohort.
