Commentary
The major sport played at the school was Netball, Cricket and Hockey.
During breaks the boys would always be playing in the dirt.
If the boys were naughty in school the teachers would hit you with a piece of cane or timber. They always used to get a bottle of milk each morning after parade, this was usally warm as it was left out in the sun before it was brought to class.
Every year the creek would flood over the brige at St John's Wood and they used to catch mullet, eels, catfish and rainbow fish for their fish tanks. In the creek they also caught lobbies that they took home to cook.
Every time there was a quiet day you could always hear the city Town Hall clock chime.
Their milk was delivered early each morning in glass bottles with foil tops.
At Christmas time the tops would be coloured with a Christmas design.
They used the tops as Christmas decorations.
