This event, captured in a photograph from 1990, reflects the school’s emphasis on celebration, inclusion, and creating lasting memories for its students. The image serves as a valuable historical artifact, preserving a moment of joy and togetherness from a school that no longer exists but remains fondly remembered.This photograph and associated documentation of the 1990 Christmas picnic at Jacana Primary School hold significant historical and cultural value. Captured during a time when the school was a thriving educational and community hub in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, the image reflects the spirit of inclusivity, celebration, and community engagement that defined the school’s ethos. The event exemplifies the school’s commitment to fostering a nurturing and joyful environment for its students. The annual Christmas picnic was more than a festive occasion—it was a communal ritual that brought together children, families, and staff in a shared experience of joy, tradition, and belonging. The 1990 photograph is particularly significant as it: Documents a community tradition that was central to the school’s identity. Captures the diversity and vibrancy of the student body during a formative period in the area’s demographic evolution. Serves as a visual record of a school that no longer exists, following its closure and amalgamation in the early 2000s. Provides a touchstone for memory and heritage, especially for former students, staff, and local residents. As Jacana Primary School has since been closed and redeveloped, this image and its context serve as a rare and valuable artifact. It preserves a moment in time that speaks to the broader narrative of public education, suburban development, and community life in late 20th-century Melbourne.A glossy colour photograph of children with adults.PH18289 (crossed out) PH-4209 (crossed out) PH-4868jacana primary school, christmas picnic, 1990, jacana, education

The grandchildren, Amy 3, Justin 9, and Brenton 5, were greatly impacted by his loss. Legacy helped Mrs Lloyd with financial matters and in being granted a war widows pension. The article mentions that in 'the past the organisation primarily cared for the children and young widows of fallen comrades - now it is caring for rapidly increasing numbers of elderly widows.'

Note by T.H. Kneen," After the transfer of the small dairy herd to Glenormiston and later Longerenong the milking shed was modified to serve as a machinery shop. Late in 1990 and early in 1991 it was converted for use as the Horticultural College Centenary Centre and as a new home for the Horticultural Shop. Half the space on ground floor level was devoted to a display "A Centenary of Horticultural Education." The old loft area was fitted out as the office for the Executive Officer for the Centenary Celebrations and the storage of archival material." (In 2009 the shop closed and the archives were removed to the Administration Building.) Colour photograph.
