Parents and friends noticed a severe lack of class with the school gates and main entrance. Essentially it was unchanged from the opening of the school in 1977. In 2002, P&C Manager0 Larene O'Neill started "Operation Facelift", a large Community Project to give Gorokan High School an environmental facelift. It began with the help of the Central Coast Express Advocate and a group of volunteer Gorokan High School Students from grades 7 - 12. Three years later, in 2005, assisted by a large donation from Delta Electricity it struck pay-dirt, resulting in new school gates and a couple of signs. Here are the photos (thanks to Larene O'Neill for the pictures)

Press: 2002 Reunion Class of 1979 & 80 at the Beachcomber
On Saturday 5 October, 2002 a reunion for our year and the year before was held at the Beachcomber. It was organised by Darren Gates, Lisa Cook(nee Crawley), Deborah Swan, Ben Ratcliffe, Kim Salodine, Catrina Cowan, Cathy Crooks, Donna McMillan, Linda Cummings and Kerrie Gordon. (phew). It was a very successful night, with music from a couple of bands (Rockin' Horse and Quadravibe) in the "Underground" room of the Beachcomber, and we were able to breakout into the quiet area near the pool entrance (formerly called the Nautilus Bar) which allowed wistful conversations. There were a couple of newspaper articles on this re-union.

You'll probably be able to see it better displayed on your own computer where you can scroll around and enlarge it with much more control than here on the blog.
