Hi Joan I attended Manly Boys High from 1962 to 1967 and it was just an ordinary public high school then, not the selective school it is now. I grew up in the area and have never heard of Manly Grammar. regards David Fitzsimmons Canberra On 1 December 2010 22:17, Marg M <[email protected]> wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Edwards Joan" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2010 7:44 PM > Subject: [ANS] Manly Grammar School > > > Hi Joan > > > Does anyone know anything about Manly Grammar School? > > Never heard it called Grammer School.

Dear Joan, David, et al, It's no wonder David doesn't remember it because it was long gone by his school days: Google drags up this PDF about Manly Grammar School for Girls, with accompanying photo: http://tinyurl.com/38nxnce The Manly Grammar School (for Girls) run by Miss I Strachan as Principal, appears to have started in Ashburner Street several doors along from Montagu House, in The Breakers (although this may be an error in the Sands´ Directory). >From 1928-1930, the Manly Grammar School was listed in Valpre Flats, with the Hattersleys. Montague Flats, The Breakers and Elouera were listed separately. In 1932, Manly Girls´ Grammar School was listed at no 44, the former Montague Flats or Montagu House. After one or more moves in Ashburner Street, the school had settled for the following decade. In 1932, Ashburner Street appeared as an almost unbroken line of boarding houses and residential flat buildings, with the exception of Manly Girls´ Grammar. The school´s tennis court and terraced gardens provided a defining character to the northern end of Ashburner Street until the school closed in circa 1941. The house was then demolished and replaced in the early 1950s by The Citadel apartment building.
