We seem to have struck a chord with many families who have had multiple generations attend Drysdale Primary School over the last almost 150 years. This time we showcase the Turner, Peel, Bryant, Lloyd, Vella families. According to Raelene there is conjecture as to whether Eva Peel (Foster) born in 1865 – who would have been 10 when the school opened, so we are unsure on this one but the five following are confirmed.
Ada Turner (Peel) DOB: 16/11/1897.
Siblings: Percy, Alan, Kenneth, Hector
Muriel Bryant (Turner) DOB: 26/09/1921.
Siblings: Geoffrey, Marion, Ron Turner
Pauline Lloyd (Bryant) DOB: 31/03/1945.
Sibling: Murray Bryant
Raelene Vella (Lloyd) DOB: 06/06/1969.
Siblings: Vicki and Kelvin Lloyd
Kirsty Vella DOB: 20/05/2001.
Siblings: Lloyd Vella
As we lived across the road from the Primary School I remember when Mum did the end of year activities and had several students over and we did cooking. I remember there were several students all around the kitchen table and Mum was teaching us to make truffles and some other slices which the students took home.
