Brunswick Girls School

Brunswick Girls SchoolI went to Brunswick Girls School for 3 years, one of those years which I can’t quite remember what year it was out class was told we were not going to be able to purchase a class photo, the Headmistress at the time said that someone was poking their tongue out so no-one was going to be allowed to have a copy, no big drama on the day. Years later there was a reunion at the school, I went along with a friend I was still in contact with from Brunny Girls. On a table ther was an album of sbhool photos, so we went through them and there was the photo that no-one was allowed to have, we looked for the tongue that caused the upset, but as far as we could se not one person was poking their tongue out. Ever since we made that discovery I have wondered why the Headmistress would have denied the whole class from having their class photo.

Now that the school has been pulled down I often wonder where that book would have gone, did someone just take it home, was it chucked out or was it sent to some Educational Services department. I would love to know it any one has the answers.

    It has been a few years since I attended a school reunion - and as they were suppose to be on a five year cycle it must mean that another is due soon. Good luck in your quest to find the scrapebook.

    Some of the teachers used to be overly authoraterian in my day and this sort of behaviour was normal, I think some of them thought they were doing us a favour by disciplining us.
    Unfortunately I think it did the opposite and mad us lose respect totally

    I wouldn’t have cared if there had been someone poking their tongue out, I would say ok maybe deserved, but when I saw the photo and there wasn’t that sort of made me mad, and I just can’t understand why a headmistress would do that, that is a lot of families that may have been disappointed….
