25.01.2022 TWITTER HAPPENINGS: Last week on Twitter, Journalist Juanita Phillip posted about dropping out of school to work and then returning to complete her education. I...nspired by her story, AHS Alumni Nicole Chettle posted a reply to Juanita (which can be seen in the photo below). While thanking Nicole for the mention, it was great to catch up with her. After more than 20 years in journalism, Nicole moved to the NSW Parliament as the Opposition Leader Jodi McKay’s Media Director. It is a very exciting opportunity where she talks to journalists every day. And like Nicole, Jodi’s from the country, and will be the first Labor leader from regional NSW to run for Premier. Nicole was genuinely grateful for the second chance she had at school to come back and pursue her passion. And she has done our school community proud ever since. See more

22.01.2022 DON ROSS VISITS HIS OLD SCHOOL: Yesterday (in 1959) the captain and coach of North Albury football team, Don Ross, paid a visit to his old school, Albury High S...chool, to congratulate the captains of the school's football premiership teams. Picture shows Don shaking hands with the captain of the senior team, John Weissel. The side went through the season undefeated. Next on the right is the under 15 years John Massey, and at right the under 14s captain Roy Poy, whose side tied with C.B.C. See more

20.01.2022 HISTORICAL SCHOOL PHOTOS: School photos have certainly changed over the years. (From left to right) "The Boys" photo from 1940. Whilst the school was co-ed it h...ad a distint division of boys side and girls side, both inside and out side the classroom; the Leaving class (Graduation class) of 1927, these were the last students to attend AHS at the old Thurgoona Street site; and, the Leaving class (Graduation class) of 1928. This was the first year to attend school on what is the current AHS site. Wonderful photos such as these allows us to reflect and imagine what school was like then and what the students went on to achieve in life. See more

18.01.2022 CALLING PREVIOUS STUDENTS: 2020 marks the Centenary of Albury High and we will be looking to locate some of our former students and families to hear their AHS e...xperiences. This week we had the opportunity to speak to the Johnston family. They started their schooling at Albury Public before joining Albury High in 2007, following the AHS Alumni. During their time at AHS, Sally and Robert certainly had their hands full supporting their children, Natalie, Daniel, Bridget and Patrick, has they excelled in their various fields as part of the AHS community and now at university. Natalie (2012 AHS graduate) and has now completed a Bachelor of Law and Psychology and is working at Maurice Blackburn in Melbourne.

17.01.2022 Thank you to Craig Phillips for sending through this photo of his Dad, Eric Phillips in the 1936 swimming team. If you recognise or know anyone else let me know.

14.01.2022 Regretfully the organising committee of the Albury High School Centenary Celebrations have decided to postpone the event until October 2021. This will be our Centenary Plus One celebration. The reasons for this decision include uncertainty about regulations for the remainder of this year and the need for clarity to assist people with their planning. Many people may be reluctant to travel even if allowable. The school has also cancelled or reduced many functions and activities.... It is important that we acknowledge the school’s centenary this year. As a consequence we have a number of initiatives. This includes publishing a centenary history book written by past principal, Keith Crossley. This will be this be available in September this year and details of how to purchase it will be provided. The centenary facebook page will have links to a series of short video memories by past students. Should you wish to provide a short video memory please contact Margie Gleeson at [email protected] or via the AHS Centenary facebook page and she will provide you with details. The school is also creating a virtual tour which will be available via our website. Twenty years ago a time capsule was buried and current students will unearth this and put the materials on display. Albury City Council has also agreed to put a banner across Dean Street recognising the school’s centenary. Whilst not a perfect outcome I am confident that you will agree that we do need to recognise and celebrate Albury High School’s one hundred years of service to the community and the tens of thousands of students and staff who have created such a great history. The Centenary Committee apologises for any inconvenience these changes may have created for you but in these challenging and uncertain times we believe this decision is in everyone’s best interest.
