Did Anybody Go To King Ecgberts?

[Jess22 10]

I did, but only for year 7 until end of year 8. I had a bit of a disagreement with a few of the teachers and we thought it best I left. I'm 23 now, nearly 24. Can't be bothered to work out what years that would have been.

Hi Cynthia, probably easier to approach the school?

Hope this helps.

Nanrobbo - when where you there? and Where in Australia do you live?

I left in 1982

My son attended between 1990 & 1995 and didn't care for it. I think I know what he meant as it appeared very bland and without any soul to me. He attended Totley County prior to moving up and that was a very friendly and welcoming place.

 

He made a lot of friends at Ecgberts that he keeps in touch with and none of them have fond memories of the place. What I noticed is that on leaving Ecgberts most of his male friends (himself included) went through a multitude of career changes before settling on a job that they liked. So from a parents pespective I consider it to have been lacking in direction, things may be different now.

i go to king ecgberts now i'm in my last year though. i just realised, our school has been open for 50 years this year i reckon it should be celebrated somehow does anyone know anything on the history of our school?

 

and p.s. it is a bit of a crap school but ther are some AMAZING teachers that makes up for it

i left in '84. i remember ...Mrs Carlson - history teacher , Mr Smiles -RE. Miss plumtree- PE, Mr Applehoff- Maths. Mr Bowen - Geography, Mr Nuttall - head of Isolation unit ( not sure whether he actually taught any particular subject)Mrs Barr and Mrs Lewis both taught French if i remember correctly. Great days, i just didn't appreciate it at the time .

You will have been in the same year as my brother.If I remember right our RE teacher went on to marry a pupil out of your year,and Mrs Barr was going out with the geography teacher (his name has slipped my mind)

[Littlepink 10]

yep i was in the same year as D and A was 2 years above me . ( don't want to say their names here ) did Mrs Barr marry the geography teacher while we were at king Ecgberts? i vaguely remember her getting married or maybe she married someone else

Mr Smiles is a wonderful man!

 

He is still the Head of the Lower School.
