Introduction
Kathryn Jones Lucas
1970
December 16th 2011 I decided I would write a book on the history of my former school being
Heidelberg Girls Secondary School later renamed to Heidelberg Girls High then another name change to Waterdale High.
I have really enjoyed the process.
I have met many of my former school friends via the Facebook Group Page. The internet has been a valuable tool to enable me to write my book.
At the time of writing this introduction for this web site a reunion is planned for
Saturday 3rd March 2012 at Bundoora Park Bundoora Victoria.
We hope to see as many former teachers and students as possible.
I would esp like to thank the following people:
My husband Paul for helping me with technical issues re building a web site or how best I should self publish my book etc.
Sandra Bradshaw nee Hogg for all her great personal photos
Lynden Butterworth nee Russell for entrusting me with her memorabilia
Terri Carr For bringing all former school friends together on the Facebook Group page
Kathy Cavar for sending me the last school newsletter
Janine from Heidelberg Historical Society
Liz Pidgeon Local and Family history Librarian - Yarra Plenty Regional Library
Gwen Rogerson former teacher
Avel Russell for photos and memorabilia
Lillian Russell for photos and memoraibila
Plus all of the schoolfriends who submitted photos and stories and help for my book. They are mentioned personally on this site and in my book
The History of the school
As I have enjoyed the process my next two books already in the planning stages will be called
West Heidelberg : The Olympic Village and much more
and
My father was a Prisoner of War during WW11
So hope people will get to read all these three books in the future
