Yeah school was pretty easy for me in the early 70s to 80s.
Our school actually had an observatory built on the grounds by ASSA around 1961.
Unfortunately it was never available to students when I was there.
It was part of science when I left.grrrr.
It housed a 10" Schmidt cassagranian which the telescope and observatory remains were relocated to Modbury Heights Tafe and still there today.
I was always intrigued in what was inside but could never get in (we tried).
It must have inspired me to learn for myself.
It was a good hiding spot for smokers on the back oval.
Teachers could never sneak up so there was plenty of time to hide anything.
It was all pretty easy those days when you look back but at the time it seemed hard.
Cheers
Andy
