New Photos................sorry

Rach raging as usual

What a mottley assortment of bed sheets and the 7th form crowd................spot yourself

Brett and Rach

At least the togas stand out in the darkened room

Nick and Pete, two gorgeous girls

Gary looking stunning in blue floral

Paul having an Olivia meets John Travolta moment, Gayle looking very dapper and Liset ready for a fishing adventure it seems

Glenn all coy

From these photos it appears we had a great night out at the Progressive Dinner, photos courtesy of Michelle. I bet some of you are very glad I haven't included surnames on these photos! Does anyone have photos from the other 5 courses?

All dressed up


Gary, Sara, Brett, Rach, Scott, Michelle and Glenn ready to head off for a night at the Mandalay. Photo courtesy of Michelle, don't blame her if you appear on this blog I'm doing all the posting to this blog with my own material and whatever people send to me. If anyone isn't happy about a photo appearing on this blog let me know and I can easily remove it. If you have a better photo that you would like posted simply scan and email it to me. I have also been very careful not to post anyone's full name but they do of course appear in some of the Pegasus and Exposure pages.

My apologies if I have upset anyone, it was certainly unintentional. I would love some input from any of you, good or bad, you can comment on each post of just email me privately.

Motutapu Island


Dale, William and Lisa

Our first school trip and it was a fun one out in the Hauraki Gulf at the Motutapu Island camp which was formerly an Artillery Camp in WWII. The bunk houses were very basic! Also remember someone coming to grief with a wasp nest while abseiling..........ouch! I think the 4th Form was split into two groups and went out at different times. Click on the group photo and see if you are there.

A trip over the Tasman


I returned to NZ in 1988 to catch up with friends, had a great time. I was a Registered Nurse in those days, worked in Sydney then moved out to western NSW to be nearer to my future husband whom I'd met the year previously while living in a nurses home while doing practical work during my university training. Here I am with Mark and Rick, must dig out some old albums and find some of the other photos, this one was lurking on the computer.

The latest wedding



Elizabeth (Liz) marries her Scottish lad in very glam style in 2005 and has since become a mum to little Flynn!

Our farm girl

7C with Mrs Thorne


The second 7th Form class photo comes from Michelle this evening, thank you. Now all we need is the third one to complete the set, I was in that class but sadly I don't have a copy of the photo. Someone must have one, step up now, scan it and email it over and it will be posted pronto.

A busy year for weddings

I have lots of photos in my collection many thanks to friends who have kept me up to date over the years. I have a few more wedding photos to add. I would dearly love it if any of you could send photos past or present to share on this blog.

Sailing away

Young, happy and carefree



Liset sent the lovely shot of Scott, Michelle and Gayle and I also had been sent that photo and 2 others via Michelle many years back. The photos I have tell me it was Queen's Birthday weekend in 1987. Not sure who's boat it was or who the mustachio is.

Waiheke camping

This photo arrived by email from Liset, she loves the happy memories it evokes. Then I realised I have a collection of photos from the same camping trip on Waiheke Island in January 1985, sadly I had moved back to Australia by then and missed out on this great adventure. My photos were labelled by Pete so I will include his descriptions of each shot.

"Liset playing with someones hose"

" Rach in her flourescent togs and shampoo on Waiheke"

"Our campsite"

"Rach's bum and Gayle's back. Rach, Gayle, Michelle and Kim's tent."

"Me about to leap up and do the dishes (you must be joking)!"

"Waiting for the ponce in the truck at Matiatia"
