I entered EHS in February 1958 from Elwood Central and left in October/November 1962 to do Matriculation exams at the Exhibition Building.

I was an out of area student living in Windsor. I travelled to school by various means such as bus, tram (even the one that ran done Glenhuntly Rd), bicycle and on two occasions walked.

My time at EHS could not be said as joyous, I was happy and content, but I diffused (not intentionally) a negative aura with the teaching staff. I cannot quite find the r...

‘……you see we are busy, and I am afraid that writing memoirs for the school website has well and truly taken a back seatfor the time being. Just keeping up with emails, and other normal household chores, takes up a lot of our time, and we also enjoy watching TV In the eveings, especially "old movies" on DVD when there is "nothing much else on". You never know, one day I may get to writing a few lines, if I feel like it....'

Hi to all former EHS students.

 My association with Elwood High is a long one. Being one of four children who were brought up in Elwood we all went to EHS after first attending Elwood Primary School and then Elwood Central School. Even my Mother went to Elwood Central School when it was the only school in the area and well before EHS was established. I made many good friends at each of these schools; many of these are still friends and are living in the local area today. We went to school ...

I attended ECS and EHS a very long time ago. I was not a good student, however I enjoyed my time there anyway. There were a lot of great people there and we had some interesting teachers .One in particular was a real character .His name was Dr Wolff, and he taught mathematics. Maths was a subject I had difficulty with !!

I remember Dr Wolff telling me and the class, in his strong German accent, (4C I think it was)  "Woody, if you pass the algebra exam, I will stand on my head in front of t...

I made some lifelong friends at EHS and still keep in touch with four of them: Kay, Michael, Brigitta and Kathleen. Hockey was the game for me – I even captained the school team once when the ‘real’ captain was away. Art was my favourite subject and I still like to draw and paint. All my children like to draw and one of my sons turned out to be a pretty good artist. They in turn are helping their kids! Recently we were camping in the Grampians and I was able to sp...

In the 1960s, Elwood High School was a new school of boring, grey, rendered, single-level buildings. The main two were built in 1957 at right angles to each other, in the north-west corner of the site. There was also a cluster of  three smaller buildings of the same style in the south-east corner some distance from the main ones. Its overwhelming feature was the flat concrete space near the buildings and the grassy softball and hockey fields a little further away from the buildings and wind...
