I went to Narwee High which they shut down, burnt down, then tore down to make mass housing and I think that some great stories, worth re-telling, come out of my time there and I’m hoping that you too wil Site statistics:Click here
Something a little fishy 2008-10-22 16:32:15 Near the school front office and therefore the Principal’s, Deputy Principal’s and those sorts of peoples offices there was this space that was like an old hallway. It was just open ended and they were storing all this old furniture there, table and chairs and that, and one day while sitting around talking the group [...] Read more:little
Students achieving 2008-10-19 16:29:32 I love what can be done when young people put theirs mind together for a common goal.
It was the trial HSC and the art class were standing outside the hall waiting to go in for their test and thankfully I was close by to hear them. Someone in the group mentioned that they would need [...] Read more:achieving
Gardening 2008-10-15 16:24:25 This is one of my favourite stories from school. There was one guy that would always get sent out of class, not for anything really serious but rather just allegedly being a distraction.
So I’m not sure what this particular teacher was thinking, maybe that he was being creative in his punishment, maybe something else. But [...]
Potential broken arm 2008-10-12 16:19:07 It was the last week of term and we were doing the cool thing hanging out on the back oval, the bell had gone a while ago but we continued to hang out for a while chatting to others. We actually thought that being the last week of term there’d be nothing going on in [...] Read more:Potential
Toilet Papering 2008-10-08 17:18:22 Our library had this second level which wasn’t enclosed, but it ran only down the centre of the library and was open on either side that overlooked the downstairs. It was probably designed so that the teachers could look up from below and see what was going on.
Anyway we hung out on the top level [...] Read more:Toilet
Throwing Bricks 2008-10-05 16:12:00 Sometimes at school you would need to throw rocks, bricks, bags, bottles, or any other type of rubbish or objects into trees to dislodge a ball that had gone astray, or one that hadn’t but just didn’t make it through all the branches and out the other side.
On this one occasion we weren’t trying to [...] Read more:Bricks
Big projects 2008-11-05 15:39:55 It’s funny how something small can turn into something big and you find yourself getting carried away before you even realise that you have.
I must admit that I can’t even really remember how this one started, maybe there was something or maybe it was just sheer boredom one lunch. Anyway someone started to dig a [...]
The smart way to take a test 2008-11-02 15:37:27 We were sitting the trial HSC English exam and I was struggling my way through the essay question when I look over to the guy next to me and am really surprised by what I see.
One of the other students was wearing a bumbag and had pre written an essay on small cards, taped the [...]
Kicking for foliage 2008-10-29 16:34:59 We’d play touch footy at every opportunity we had, before school, during breaks, whenever and at one end of the ‘field’ there was a massive tree. If you were running towards the tree and heard the call ‘foliage’ then you knew someone was about to kick the ball high into the tree, which was in [...] Read more:Kicking
My best class ever 2008-10-26 16:33:28 Year 11 would, like all schools I think, technically finish in term 3 and in term 4 you would start your year 12 work and mostly you would be doing the same subjects in both years so they didn’t change the timetable at all.
Now in year 11 I was doing commerce but has decided to [...] Read more:class
Library wars 2008-11-23 22:22:33 The library was always a place full of action, battles and mischief took place here all the time and it was all about stealth battles due to whole library quietness thing.
We wanted to be prepared for whenever the next battle would strike so we decided that it was a good idea to stockpile ‘ammunition’. We [...] Read more:Library
Car badges 2008-11-19 16:19:29 Sitting in class one day I was having a chat to another students as there was nothing really interesting going on and the conversation turned to that of his hobby. He loved to collect car badges, without the permission of the owners of those badges, but nonetheless its what he liked to do.
I was a [...]
Lethal words 2008-11-16 22:16:20 We had a science class once that went through 8 teachers in one term which of course produced quite a lot of stories worth telling. Here’s one of them.
We were doing something, I can’t remember what it was but that’s not important, and we all needed to use scissors so the teacher handed out a [...] Read more:Lethal
