History

We acknowledge the generosity of Shirley Feeney in helping to compile this story. Many of her words have been used (numbered 1 -6) as she was able to paint such a vivid picture. We also thank Jeannine Garrard for giving insights into the later life of the Pre School. So much was achieved over those years and we used her words to do it justice (numbered 7-10). Also Dianne Knight’s words have been used to explain Pre School No. 2 evolution (numbered 11-14) and Lou Sealby (numbered 15). Verna Esdaile’s words have also been used to reflect currently on Pre School No.1 (numbered 16 -17).

A big thank you must go to Shirley, Jeannine Garrard and Dianne Knight. These three dedicated women have inspirited others and have left a legacy for our community, one that will be much appreciated for future children and their families.

A special thank you must also go to Diane Knight and Lou Sealby for collating and writing the Pre School’s story.
