1966 Alumni

I was in the first grade 8 intake at high school. Thoroughly enjoyed my high school years but did not do well academically. I think that there were too many out of school distractions and at that age you don't realise the importance of applying yourself. We were fortunate that there were no ipads, mobile phones and social media at that time. Passed grade 10 and pursued a career in the electrical engineering/electronics and computer fields. I still work in the field at age 67. My wife and I currently live in Mackay.

I was a student at RHS from 1964 to 1966 - Moved to Sydney in 1978 married & had 1 daughter -Tegan & worked for David Jones , ANZ Bank & then a Manager for MBF/Bupa for many years before moving back to Rockhampton in 2013 - worked for Masters Home Improvement for 3 years until their closure - now retired

I now live in Bundaberg with my husband of 50 years. I have 5 children & 6 Grandchildren.

We were the first class to attend high school in Grade 8 along with the scholarship class

I started at this school in 1963 from the Leichardt Ward S.S. and left in September 1966. I worked in Supreme Court Rpton for 6 years then to the Supreme Court Brisbane. I worked in almost every court jurisdiction for my 44 years. Have fond memories of the school and the cadet camps. Would love to get some class photos of these years.

I attend RHS from 1963 to 1967 in the Maths/Science stream. I participated in rugby, athletics and swimming and the Army Cadet Corps. In 1966 I was Cook House Captain, Cadet Under Officer and School Captain. I received a Rugby Pocket, the Whither's Cup for cross-country run and the Aere Perennius book prize. I received an RAAF cadetship to study Aeronautical Engineering at RMIT. I served as an Air Force Officer for 35 years and was awarded the Member of the Order of Australia Medal in 1996 for my work in resource management. I was early retired in 2002 as an Air Commodore, Director General Aerospace Combat Systems for the ADF. After completing a project management consultancy with the Defence Housing Authority, I was appointed Deputy CEO and then Acting CEO Engineers Australia during a period of leadership transition. I retired to the Sunshine Coast in 2005. My volunteer activities culminated in being appointed a member of the National Council for the Endeavour Foundation for the intellectually disabled where I worked on the implementation of the NDIS program to 2019.
