Recollections
AddBy: Kathryn Rodgers8th Feb 2023 9:41AMAt Bremer State High School there were keen Teachers who gave us the chance to do the Duke of Edinburgh's Award in Australia. I remember the Expeditions in 1977 for the Silver Award and 1978 for the Gold Award. These were held at 'The Lost World' at Canungra. I Camped there with a group of female Students. Some remain my friends now. We hiked using maps and compasses covering 50 km over a few days. We saw many Bottle Trees and much great Scenery. We carried Backpacks and ate a lot of dried fruit as we walked. It was a great experience.
The Gold Award was presented to us in 1982 when the Duke of Edinburgh came with Queen Elizabeth the Second to open the Commonwealth Games in Brisbane. I was at the Opening! That morning we were invited to come to the Royal Yacht Britannia (beside it) so the Duke could present our Gold Awards and Certificates to us!
Thanks to my parents and friends and Bremer High Staff!

By: Kathryn Rodgers11th Jan 2023 2:13PMIn 1977 and 1978 my kind and intelligent Economics Teacher at Bremer State High School was Mervyn Higham. I remember it was easy to get very high marks in his class because he taught so well. He and his wife held a party for our Economics class at his home which we all loved.
In 1977 Linda Morris was School Captain. She is a well known singer and now married.
