And no, I dont know any Davis's, why, should I?? I might, but none spring to mind.

No, I mean Belmont High in Geelong, sorry. But a frind of mine from WA also used to live on the same road as Heath Ledger, next door I think, her name is Davis. She's rather proud of the fact, too.

Two things:

I got Sam Mackinnon's signature just before he started playing for the South East Melbourne Magic, he had just been recruited. It was at a basketball training camp, little did I know he was to become one of the NBL's best basketballers.

Secondly:

I used to have a Maths tutor (last year) that taught at Montmorency Secondary College. His first name is Gordon, can't remember his second name. You know of any teachers with the first name Gordon that teach maths at Montmorency?

I am proud to say St Kevin's College, where I am completing y12 this year (only 2 months to go!).

For primary education I attended St Lawrence's Catholic Primary School in Leongatha. Damien Adkins was a student at this school.

Skevs has produced the Scott Brothers, Garlick, O'Keefe, Mahoney (doh!), and soon to be superstar Irishman Nick Walsh, who even Tim Watson said will be a star. Plus Bobby Santamaria is our most famous student.

Is mad dog Mckenzie and Micky Petrie still at SKC?

I have watched Irish Walshe play a few games and he took it up to Chris Judd who will be drafted in the top 5.

Walshe trains with Melbourne.

Blackburn Primary School 1988-1994.
Blackburn High School 1995-2000.
Deakin University 2001-2004(pending I pass my subjects!!)

I know that Don Scott went to Blacky High as did the diver Jenny Donnett (you're forgiven if you don't remember her because I barely know about her!!).

Apart from that Blacky high haven't had many sporting greats grace the school halls.....Blacky High is more well known for its music program so I guess that's why sportspeople are few and far between.....

Claim to fame: When I was in year 12, two young 'uns were in year 7, later to become the lead singer and bass player for the Living End! If only I had the foresight to get their autographs then.

Hey WWB u were at W/H High when all my siblings were there. I think u mustve been in my sisters year there.

But I went to

Jells Park Primary School 87-93
Brentwood Secondary College from 94-99

 

[BIG POPPA PUMP]

Well I did my primary school from 90-96 at Sunshine North PS and now Im lucky enough to share the same school as the great X_Box_X.

Sunshine North was one of the best primary schools youd ever wanna go to. Made some great friends and actually enjoyed going to school!

Hoppers SC isnt too bad. Years 7-10 were pointless - learnt absoloutely nothing and were virtually a waste of time(when I turned up) The workload is a lot heavier this year. A lot of the stuff isnt that difficult, its just not easy to keep up. (esp when ur spending hrs on end looking up footy on the net! )

Leon Harris (Fitzroy rover, 1980s) was from Mortlake, was he not?

Um, I have no idea! But I do know that one of my primary teachers, a close friend of mine, babysat Gary Lyon when he was younger. And a few people in my school train with the Geelong Falcons U18's or whatever it is.

I'd say most Victorians would know where Warrnambool is, perhaps interstaters wouldn't.

LOL, you serious? I must be talking to some incredible dumb people then, when I talk to people in chat rooms, I say have you heard of Warrnambool and they all say, "What? Where? No!"

Great, great school was Preston W. Primary, and not just because the school footy team wore Roys jumpers!

Mr. Alexander would have been headmaster during your stay?

Oh, and I wasn't bullied until grade 3 (1977), btw!

My cousins go to Padua. One has finished, the other two are still there.

I had the choice of going to Padua or Rosebud, but I chose Rosebud.

What year you currently in? You might know some people I know that go there.

Yup, both are.
Mick Petrie is my English teacher this year. He left St Kevins after 1999 and taught at Samaritan College for year, but returned, replacing Darren McGregor as Kearney House head.
When did you do y12 at Skevs?
