Friends of Ivanhoe East Primary School

On behalf of Phil Skeggs, I am posting this page for the Heidelberg Historical Society. It does make you wonder how Heidelberg Germany can be a sister city when Heidelberg is now Banyule 🤫

It used to be quite common to see old army huts used for various purposes, but I wonder how many are still around today? This is the library at Ivanhoe East State School, housed in an old army hut.

If you went to Ivanhoe East State School, do you remember this building?
I love the television -probably black and white- on the stand at the back of the room!

This is one of thousands of negatives of photos taken by the Publications Branch of the Education Department between 1950 and 1967. They have been digitized and are available online through the Public Records Office

By the way, Sunday 28 November will be the last day of Our 'Truth Beauty and Utility' exhibition until it re-opens again in February 2022.

This is a great looking library - do they still have Biggles?

Look how big the trees are on Robin Hood rd.
