New Lane Ossy then Accy Grammar - only 2 of us passed 11+ in my year 1 girl (Jocelyn Griffiths) & me - even the headmaster's daughter (Catherine Wood) failed and he sent her to Paddock House. It was a bit lonely first day at AGS. Many memorable teachers - Ben Johnson/Crick/Portno etc. etc. Most of my mates went to Rhyddings, 1 or 2 to the Tech.
