  I ATTENDED THIS PRIMARY- IN MY YOUTH OF COURSE- AS A TEMPORARY GRADE 3 PUPIL (WE MOVED A LOT) DURING WHICH IT WAS ABBA FEVER/MANIA HERE IN AUSTRALIA, AND WE (THE WHOLE GRADE 3 CLASS I WAS IN) SPENT A PERIOD OF TIME ONE DAY, IF NOT THE WHOLE DAY, WRITING A FAN LETTER TO ABBA UNDER THE TEACHERS APPROVAL. IT WAS GREAT ! THE CLASSROOM WITH IT'S WOODFIRE WAS ABUZZ WITH EXCITEMENT. I THINK EVERYONE IN THE CLASS ASKED FOR ALL THEIR ALBUMS .I KNOW I DID.AND I WAS IN LOVE WITH AGNETHA THE BLONDE BEAUTY FROM THE BAND. AND A FELLOW CLASSMATE, HER NAME WAS 'FELICE BRYANT/BYANT' - CANT REMEMBER PRECISELY, WAS IN LOVE WITH ME. MY FIRST HEART FLUTTER THAT I REMEMBER, AND I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO HANDLE IT. I CAN STILL REMEMBER HER AND THOSE DAYS THAT WILL NEVER BE AGAIN. THE SCHOOL ITSELF HASN'T CHANGED A GREAT DEAL FROM THE GOOGLE PICS OF 2007 I'M VIEWING, AND NOR HAS MY FOND MEMORIES OF MY SHORT TIME SPENT THERE. MY FATHER WAS IN FACT 'CLEANER IN CHARGE' AS IT WAS KNOWN THEN, WHO ACTUALLY CLEANED AND SUPERVISED A SMALL CLEANING STAFF WHO THEN WERE ON THE SAME PAYROLL AS THE TEACHERS WHO TAUGHT THERE. HE ONCE PHYSICALLY HELD A STUDENT (JASON WALLACE I THINK WAS HIS NAME) WHO BULLIED ME ONE DAY SO I COULD HAVE A 'FREE PUNCH' AT HIM. IT WAS A REGULAR THING BEING BULLIED AND 'PICKED ON' WHEN MOVING TO NEW SCHOOL THEN, AND THIS WAS MY FOURTH. HAD HE DONE NOW WHAT HE DID THEN; WELL,,, IT WAS THE SEVENTIES STILL.! I ALSO HAD A BIRTHDAY DURING MY STAY THERE AND INVITED EVERYONE IN MY CLASS TO IT BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE 'ACCEPTED', AND NEVER TOLD MY PARENTS. WHEN A 'MICHAEL O'BRIEN' FROM MY CLASS ARRIVED AT THE DOOR IN BESSEL AVE DID MY OLD MAN HIT THE ROOF ! MY OLD MAN WAS A HARD BASTARD, AND DIDN'T LIKE HAVING TO CATER FOR OTHER PEOPLE. HE'S DEAD NOW AND THAT'S ONLY A GOOD THING. BUT TO ALL YOU FOLK THAT HAVE ATTENDED OR ARE ATTENDING THERE, ENJOY IT. I HAVE BUT ONLY GOOD MEMORIES AND FEELINGS OF THAT PLACE. AND GREAT TO SEE THE TREE LINES I REMEMBER SURROUNDING THE SCHOOL, WITH THE OVAL THAT I TRIED OUT FOR THE SCHOOL AUSSIE RULES TEAM HASN'T BECOME A CAR-PARK OR THE LIKE. AHHH TAKE ME BACK....... HI FELICE/FELICITY, JASON AND MICHAEL IF U READ THIS..!!!
