Steve, I don't know whats worse, you asking about the covered walk way - or me knowing the answer. Yes it was finished. Even sadder I have a photo - I'll email it to you (probably).




Other big changes, the boys gyms are now classes. There is vehicle access from the Elsmlie staff car park behind the school to a big new sports building.




Lots of new buildings outside the old Elmslie domestic science science wing. The Elslie library has gone and the Rainham one changed too.




As for the Rainham hall, how did all us kids ever fit in there in the first place, it seems so small now.




Oh happy days. See ya. Suzy

Just had a thought, does anyone know if the covered way was ever finished.. I remember that they could not connect to both buildings as it would stop emergency vehicle access, this totally ruined the concept of the student staying dry between buidlings, coupled with the fact it had no sides and the rain used to blow through it anyway.




One of those disastrous project that should never have been started, surely the money would have been better spent on a classroom speaker systems so we could enjoy the dolcit tones of Vandy welcoming us all to a new day Rydell High style.

Thats got to be 10 points for your house, superb picture, so thats what all our fund raising ended up looking like.! Cheers for the picture Suzy, will post ASAP.

I remember coming into school one Monday morning, and finding that someone had obviously broken into the school over the weekend, and painted the covered way in pink spots....anyone else remember that?
