The Good Name of the School is ever-so-slightly being menaced, it seems.
Or misrepresented, perhaps.
Just a tad.
Big Brother is watching us. The minatory spirit of Bing lives on. The school's 'marketing managers' are zealously cultivating its reputation, mindful of attracting future clients. They are naturally anxious about the sites that their school web-pages may be linked to. The content of such sites might be 'inappropriate' (horrid word) and the school staff, or worse, the Minister of Education, be held responsible.
Do we not live in interesting times? I keep forgetting that we no longer have 'free speech', merely 'responsible speech'.
My interest in the present school and its doings has been minimal. It is now non-existent.
I have therefore deleted from the STHS 1969 site any image of or reference to the present school. The link from the current STHS web-page and ours has been deleted. All images of the current school which were stored in Photobucket have been deleted. I have placed a disclaimer on our front page.
So regard it as your motto.
Some forget it, too, in toto,
'Til they're cautioned, voce sotto
'Don't disgrace your school.'

ReplyDeleteCan this be true?...boomalackablog is a treasure ....sure, a bit cheeky and naughty ...but geez...isn't that what we were learnt?...plus it's got heaps to give to all those that followed and the current generation of year 7 to 12...it is hardly a threat to the current State Government....and anyway, Chook was mentioned in the Premier's speech....don't get me started...

I agree with Derek's comment whole heartedly. I feel sorry for the current and future Tech students. I am just glad that I had a chance to view the historical content, and understand STHS much, much better.
