High school memories bring old scholars together

Past Students Gather  TBW Newsgroup
REMEMBERING SCHOOL DAYS: Ann Tompkins (now Mrs Saunders, back left), Carol Campbell (Gibbs), Valerie Varcoe (Van Schaik), Deanna Hawker (Ferguson), Trish Taylor (Lang), Beverly Burdon (Fabris), Moira Reekie (Doecke), June Neale (Clark), Mavis Jackson (Klook), Kay Kent (Bradley) and Colleen Hateley (Hammat), Liz Delaporte (Sutcliffe, front left), Merrilyn Hann (Robinson), Leonie Hann (McMillan) and Ella Van der Vlag (Pietersma).

A LIVELY group of 15 women recently gathered for a dinner in Mount Gambier to fondly recall their days as Millicent High School students six decades ago.

Those present had attended the school between 1959 and 1963.

For some, the school had been located at what is now the current Wattle Range Council chambers while the later students had enrolled at the newer premises on Mount Burr Road.

The first reunion of this group was held in 2012 with six old scholars and it has since expanded to become an annual event.

It alternates between Millicent and Mount Gambier.
