The origin of the word bunyip has been traced to the Wemba-Wemba or Wergaia language of Aboriginal people of South-Eastern Australia. However, the bunyip appears to have formed part of traditional Aboriginal beliefs and stories throughout Australia, although its name varied according to tribal nomenclature. Various written accounts of bunyips were made by Europeans in the early and mid-19th century, as settlement spread across the country.

The 1939–1945 Star is a military campaign medal instituted by the United Kingdom on 8 July 1943 for award to British and Commonwealth forces for service in the Second World War. The reverse is plain, however Stars issued to Australian personnel typically have recipient names engraved on the reverse.The medal is of high significance and should be kept in the collection. Made from yellow copper zinc alloy with somewhat sharp six points. The obverse has a central and textured design of the Royal Cypher 'GRJ VI', surmounted by a crown. A circlet, the top of which is covered by the crown, surrounds the cypher and is inscribed 'THE 1939 - 1945 STAR'. The reverse is engraved with: 'VFX53656 J.G. GIBSON'. The ribbon is tactile with red, navy, green, yellow and light blue stripes. The red edges and blue stripes symbolise engagement levels, while the green and gold centre represents the jungle and beaches. The dark blue, red, and light blue stripes signify equal contributions of the Navy, Army, and Air Force across all fronts. The blue central stripe represents the traditional nurse's uniform, with red stripes signifying the Red Cross and military service. It is worth noting that typically the Pacific Star ribbon would be matched with a medal that also states The Pacific Star. However, this Pacific Star ribbon is matched with a medal that denotes the Second World War 1939-45 Star. [I believe that the ribbon on 202508.259 and 202508.260 have been swapped at some point.].

Lauriston’s very first sports photograph is in 1905, of our students standing with their hockey sticks to mark their participation in the Girls’ Schools’ Hockey Association. Hockey was without doubt the “Queen of Games” at Lauriston during the school’s early decades. The school’s founders Miss Margaret and Miss Lilian Irving were firm believers in the character-building nature of team sports and were instrumental in establishing hockey as a competitive sport for girls in Melbourne. Lauriston’s founders Lilian Irving one of the two sisters who founded Lauriston, saw hockey played in England and brought the game back to Melbourne. Lilian arranged for the first girls inter-school hockey match, between Lauriston and Ruyton in 1903. Her sister Margaret subsequently joined with Mary Morris of Melbourne Girls’ Grammar to establish the Girls’ Schools’ Hockey Association in 1905. The Association organised regular competitions between schools. Hockey dominated Lauriston’s sporting life until well into the 1950s, with regular class, house, inter-school, and staff-student matches.
