Horsham

Thursday Nov. 11th: Took a drive up to Horsham to visit Pat, a sister of a neighbour from Gort. Pat's husband Neville was a retired principal and he showed me around all the schools in Horsham. He had worked in the state school Number 298. It had an official name but back in the mid-nineteenth century the locals called it by its number and the habit continues to this day. As I was taking a photo of SS Michael and Mark Primary school, Neville knocked on the window and a teacher came out to give us the tour. It was only open a week and everything was new. All designed for self directed Learning, which is the 'big thing' here. had a lovely meal with Pat and Neville and headed home to Warrnambool after nine. Got home around midnight and hit the sack straight away. had to get up early the next morning to relieve teachers on a sleepover.
