History & Archives

In 2009 the focus of the Archive team will continue to be on compiling the school history. Much research has already been undertaken however there are some 'grey' areas that we would be grateful for assistance in 'fleshing out' and as such we are looking for ex-students and staff to provide an insight into the everyday life of the school during the years they were at the school.

Specifically, we require information about the years that E. A. W. Logan was Headmaster at the Grammar School and 1961, when Anna Vroland was Headmistress at Woodstock Girls' School.

E. A. W. Logan, Headmaster, Albury Grammar School 1931-1936

This was a trying time for the school, for the whole nation and particularly for country folk. Australia struggled to survive the Great Depression and school enrolments were down.

He was a progressive thinker. During his time the Old Albury Grammarians and the Parents & Friends organizations were formally established. Logan left the school after only five years and took up the Headmastership of Hamilton College in the Western District.

Were you a student at the Grammar School during the years that Logan was the Headmaster? What was he like as a Headmaster? What was your experience, either as a day boy or a boarder at the school during his time as Head?

Anna Vroland, Headmistress, Woodstock Girls' School,  1961

This was a rather tumultuous year for Woodstock.  A new Headmistress was appointed and the school was preparing to move from the old site in East Albury to the new campus in North Albury.

Were you a senior student at Woodstock during this period? I would like to hear from you about what the school was like at the time and your personal experiences during that year.

I am also looking for a photograph of Anna Vroland to include in the school's archival collection.
