ARCHIVES CAN YOU HELP?
FIVE photographs of CCEGGS students taken at a Science Exhibition in Sydney in 1964 have been purchased for the CGGS Archives from the State Library of NSW. Can you identify any of the students in the photographs, please? A sailing boat, with ‘CCEGGS’ just visible under its current coat of paint, has been given to the School by the parents of a former student. The Archives has no information on sailing at the school in the past and would welcome any reminiscences or photographs you may have. Photos can be scanned and returned to you.
