State High Marks 80th Anniversary

The year 2001 marks the 80th Anniversary of Brisbane State High School. A whole school assembly was conducted at SouthBank Piazza to commemorate this event.

The School Captains, Rozanne Botha and Jared Eisemann conducted the assembly. Mr David Sutton, the Ninth Principal of Brisbane State High School, addressed the assembly. The keynote speaker was Mr Drew Hutton. He is a Historian and a lecturer at QUT. Mr Hutton spoke about the history of the local area. He dedicated his address to Mr Paul Morgan. Paul Morgan was the School Captain of Brisbane State High School in 1964 when Drew Hutton was the School Captain at Brisbane Grammar School.

The student narrators, Natasha Nicholls, Martin Tozer, and Matthew Okine provided the assembly with a BSHS perspective in a world context. They detailed world events in each era. This was accompanied by music from each decade. The music was provided by the BSHS Symphonic Band, Big Band, Rock Band and Choir.

A past student representative from each era spoke about their memories of life at State High. The 1950's to the 1990's representatives are currently on the teaching staff at Brisbane State High School. There are currently seventeen staff members who are past students.
