2 weeks ago on Saturday September 4th I went to the Pacific Golf Club in Carindale for the Mt Gravatt high School's 50th anniversary and it was first in 19 years since late 1991 when I last went to the Golf club which was with Buranda Special School. it was an great night to be there and to be part of this milestone but the downside was that no students from the mid 90's particularly from the i was there in 1996 did'nt come which I can understand it as they have other things to do like having children and other priorities . At least I saw the teachers like Mrs koppenol, Mrs McCready, Mrs Rodgers, Mrs Hay,Mrs Perkins and Mrs Cameron and my friend Claire Mitchell's parents julie and Bill were there as Julie was an student there from 1969-71 and bil was a teacher there. an duo performed which they were very good and had raffles, nibbles and photos which were of people who came in the decades they were there. besides from me an guy called Dave came in the 90's was there...

Last weekend my old school Mt Gravatt High School celebrate 50 years when it opened in 1960 and it's 14 years when I went there as well as leaving which i am glad to have been a part of that school's history. My connection with that school actually started 20 years in 1990 when I did an Science Course with Norma Koplick, Clifford Whittaker, Scott Johnston and Chris Slater as we were students @ Buranda Special School and it lasted an few months which it was an really good experience and also did a brief visit in March 1994 as my Georgaphy class under Miss Justo went there on a Tuesday to check some info which i found info on India. When Buranda was closing in late 1995 me and classmates who eventually came to MGHS went to the school 3 times to check the palce out, check the classroom we were going to be in, learning how to get there, ordered our uniforms and had an morning tea there on Friday november 24th which i remember meeting karl Shrubsole (deputy principal at that time)....
