Slideshow shown on the night

PENRITH HIGH SCHOOL REUNION - WELCOME TO OUR BLOG

Update 6 October 2008.

ANY OF THE PHOTOS CAN BE DOWNLOADED BY CLICKING ON THE SLIDESHOW - IT TAKES YOU TO THE PICASA SITE.

Wow - I think it safe to say we had a blast! What a great group of people and thank you to all those who made the effort to come - and if you weren't able to, hopefully you can still get some laughs out of these photos (although for some I think you had to be there!!!)

We hope you have as much fun reading this as we have in putting it together - we hope you'll add comments and send us photos to upload, so that it becomes a great memory for all of us.

We started in 2005 when Cheryl Clarke (Flak) decided life was too short and she wanted to make contact with everyone she went to school with.

After our first coffee meeting we decided we needed something stronger and we've been meeting at the pub or club every two months since!

Cheryl wanted to organise a full-on reunion, but as she got sicker, that went on the backburner - we have decided to organise one for her and just luckily it fits with the final year any of us went to school (but unluckily she won't be here to enjoy it).

It's now been 12 years since our last reunion, so we hope that's long enough to pique everyone's interest..... come along and have some fun.


Julie, Sophie, Kay, Marina, Debbie, Janette, Helen and Ros.

Year 11 Social Committee


The driving force behind many of our social events - I think the major thing was to organise the Year 12 farewell for the year ahead of us......

Stayers - Year 12 (Form 6)

Found a clear picture - thanks Debbie


Memories from Penrith High School 1973 - First Form














































Well - it started here for all of us - if you have your Form 1 photo, let me know and I'll post it.



This is 1H, 1B, 1T, 1G, 1N and 1Y - the other classes were 1P, 1E, 1R, and 1S

Champion Rowers

Kay, Chris, Ronnie, Sharon and Meredith.

The first girls rowing team ever at Penrith High - this was taken after our race at Como - after we ended up with a jelly fish in the boat while rowing to the starting line!!!! We still managed to come first or second... someone might need to help here!

Found it! The description in the Towers of our team - we came first in that race above.






Our School Captains...




Libby Doyle and Trevor Williams.... wonder what they're doing now?

Smiles all round


Perhaps images from the athletics carnival -Chris Denning Michelle Donaghy and Ms (Melinda) Backhouse

Yet more reminiscing......






If you click on the picture, it opens in a different window and enlarges the photo....


This was the end of Year 12 'picnic' to Colo river if I remember correctly - is that Ros Stevenson and Mark Samuels in the middle? -


Perhaps some of us would rather forget.... or were they truly our best years?


Reminiscing # 2



Two whole pages of us...... surely we will recognise someone....


Let's see if we can get everyone to come......


Reminiscing.....




To start - some photos from the 1978 Towers - Penrith High School's magazine.


Not very clear, but some people are recognisable - Mr (Reg) McMorrow and Veronica Malesevic on the left, Grahame McDonald and Sharon Luscombe on the right, Mr (Pat) Brown balancing on his head.


Mr (Steve) Pickering talking to......? with some juniors in the front - anyone know them - someone's sister??


Countdown is on..... In memory of our friend Cheryl, with love

We have the venue, we've paid the deposit, we are ready to roll!!!

Now we just need some photos or videos - old or even new, so we recognise each other!!!!

Feel free to post - but put your 'school' name so we'll know who you are!

Counting down from now until 4 October 2008 - the Penrith High School reunion of the class of 78 (year 12) or anyone who was in that year with us during the 6 years we 'attended' (some of us more than others!)
