An invaluable historical photograph of students and staff from St Arnaud High School, most likely taken between the late 1960s and mid-1970s during the leadership of Principal John Waldron.
This remarkable image captures a generation of regional Victorian school life — preserving the uniforms, hairstyles, personalities, and community spirit of the era. For former students, families, and the wider St Arnaud district, it is an extraordinary piece of local history and shared memory.
It would be great to name the students in the photo - if you are a student or can name other students please comment so we can preserve this piece of history.
And the enduring mystery remains: Who is “Ned Kelly”?
Perhaps a nickname, a legendary local character, or the student with the unmistakable presence in the front row — the answer may still live in the memories of classmates and the St Arnaud community.
