Celebration of a School Year.
The Principal of Mayfield West School Mrs Debbie Skillen invited Lesley Afflick and Margaret Gayler to be apart of their celebrations this year, along with Tony Davis, who has been presenting the Barry Elsley award for a number of years now.
What a honour it was to not only be invited back to our old school but to present the Barry Elsley Award of Encouragement for 2010.
Lesley did the honours of speaking briefly about Barry Elsley where she relayed to the students that both Margaret and her were at Mayfield West School at same time as Barry and that Tony Davis was his teacher.
The Barry Elsley Award this year went to a very deserving lad by the name of Alex Waters from Sixth class. This young lad has shown encouragement to students who are new to the school and in helping them to understand the school culture, he has shown leadership and above all demonstrated the willingness to share and guide.
To Alex Waters Congratulations
As you can also see by the photo at the top of this news we also had the great pleasure of seeing the purchase from the donation that we made to the school from the Reunion back in June. The school was able to purchase a new Lectern that they had been in dire need of for some time.
Lastly but not least we have some very good news for all the Purdue and Griffiths people from '63' - Griffiths took out theAthletics carnival for 2010 and Purdue the Swimming Carnival for 2010.

Hi Lesley, Margaret and Tony.
It is great to read the blog and to see that all went well for the Barry Elsley Encouragement Award...
I was pleased to read that the school has its new lectern! Does it have anything in the way of a notification of its 'history'?
Hi Phil no it had only just arrived and not sure if they are going to add a plaque.
