Newlands School 2007
This is the school as it looks now (January 2007) Still a braw looking building. The girls gate is on the left and the boys gate is on the right next to the Jannie's house so that he could keep an eye out for the bad boys.Saturday, January 27, 2007

Sure it is really strange that they kept the boys and girls segregated except when they were in class. What did they think we would get up to at such a young and tender age ? I remember at the front there were 2 sets of swings with a fence down the middle to keep us apart. At the back there was a wall with a metal gate in it so you could see through or pass sweets etc. back and forward between girls and boys. We each had a big shed to play in when it was wet and we both had the dreaded outside toilet which were always frozen in the winter. Murder to use especially for the girls (I imagine).

Are you sure that SCREAMING SIREN went off once a month Bobby Irvine? Surely not....the teachers would have complained that we were being distracted from our lessons.....but I remember that when it did suddenly go screaming off, it immediately silenced a whole classroom full of noisy small-fry like us. For the first few seconds at least, we were stunned stupid!
Are any of you listed on this board which used to be on the wall on the first landing.
