South Hornby School - 60th Reunion

South Hornby School turns 60 years old in 2022. A group of current staff and ex pupils are in the process of planning for our reunion in November 2022.

A memory that popped up yesterday from 7 years ago when the late Martin Bootten retired after 28 years at South Hornby. You may recognise some other familiar faces in the photos - the late Zarlene Bell (former Deputy Principal, Alice Sillifant, Lindsay Penman (former Principal), Simon Moriarty (former Principal), Rosemary Ledson Waugh, Richard Breach (former Deputy Principal), etc.

Our reunion has been postponed until 2023 - date to be confirmed.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Further details to come.

Sadly but not surprisingly, we have made the call to postpone our reunion until 2023 (date to be confirmed).
We hope to align our reunion with the official opening of our new learning space being built this year.
As always, watch this space for updates.

Where did you go to school camp? Over the years South Hornby has been to many venues - Living Springs, Glentui, Blue Skies, Woodend... where did you go? Comment below.
Where was your best ever school trip to? Lots of very lucky school choirs went to Adelaide and they visited us every second year. What school trips do you remember as being your favourite?

Pure gold! Thanks to Sharne Brunton for sending in lots of old school photos including this gem from 1976 with the new entrants class (called the Primers back then!).
Spot the well known Hornby family names in this one - Woodgate, Nixon, Exton, Tongue, Lattimore, Downing, and more.
Get tagging if you're in this photo or you know someone who is.
And if you have some spare time in lockdown, have a hunt through your old school photos and send them in. [email protected]
Register your interest at this email as well, and we will add you to the database.

Thanks Cathie White (nee Tongue) for sending in this Standard 3 photo from 1973. Room 23 - the school had a huge roll back then with all the booming industries that are now gone (glass factory, freezing works, etc)
Maybe you are in this photo - please tag yourself or others if you are. Does anyone know who the teacher is?
What a great lockdown activity - sort through those old school photos you have and email them through to us [email protected]

Thanks Robyn Rushton (nee Lucas) for sending in the photo from 1963. Taken outside Room 5 as I think that's the boiler shed next to it on the left.
What a great lockdown activity - sort through those old school photos you have and email them through to us [email protected]
