01.01.2022 If you or anyone you know went to Hurstbridge High School you might be interested in joining their page. The catchment for HHS was similar to that for Diamond Valley College today - from Kinglake to Diamond Creek; St Andrews to Kangaroo Ground - https://www.facebook.com/groups/229280863772720/?epa=SEARCH_BOX One of my old classmates Ivan has been adding and managing a whole lot of class photos from 1966 when the school started and into the 1970's. It's been a brilliant exercise and is still going and it's interesting to see how many who are in them either still live in the area or still feel connected. I would like to thank Ivan and all of the past students who have been helping remembering names. This is one of the photos with some names you might recognise; about a third of the students are from Diamond Creek.
