Comments on: St Paul’s College, Traralgon http://gorey.com.au/lourdes-college-traralgon Random thoughts and observations Wed, 23 May 2012 17:46:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Erica Pegorer http://gorey.com.au/lourdes-college-traralgon/comment-page-1#comment-60079 Erica Pegorer Tue, 14 Feb 2012 05:42:42 +0000 http://gorey.com.au/archives/1683#comment-60079 Dear gentlemen it is heart warming to read your comments and rest assured that there are plenty of us who carry the flame for Lourdes, St Paul's and Kildare; and in later years for the Presentation Regional College. I remember your name Michael and most of the names of the people who have written here. All those years ago I would have been in my early years of teaching at Lourdes - now I am the Principal of Lavalla Catholic College. I have lived through the changes you talk about but some things are constant - Like Ross Sizeland and Mike Hansen (who are still here) and Mr O'Hara who retired only two years ago. The best part of being in a school for so long is that the family connection stays alive with the next generation (or the next etc etc)! It's life giving. If ever you or any former student is in town, any one of us oldies would be happy to reconnect you to your old school. Come see - we've changed a lot but still very vibrant. Take care Erica Pegorer Dear gentlemen

I remember all of the above mentioned. I remember Miss KING. But I was shocked the other day as my daughter is now at our old school and she asked me if I remember Ross Sizeland (Rosco), He is still there teaching sport! Would love to catch up with anyone that knows me Regards AZZA I started school there in the early 80′s. I remember all of the above mentioned. I remember Miss KING.

I started in their first year (1956) with the Marist Fathers, under the Principal - Father Davis. Researching those founding years is extremely difficult, with the control of the college having been passed from the Marist Fathers to the Marist Brothers, and so on over the past decades! If anyone has added information (like earlier roll-calls, etc, please do contact me. Cheers ~ BjD Imagine how I feel.
