In the latter method, chemicals are applied to the hair, which is then wrapped around forms / rods to produce hairstyles with varying degrees of wave or curls. Usually this styling is performed by Hairdressers, in Beauty Salons, however, manufacturers appealing to the 'thriftiness' of the post world war 2 women produced products that could be used at home. It became very popular for women in the new estates to gather with their neighbours to give each other this new 'Home perm' with some success and failure.

The name "Bretterecker" and the number 360053, (possibly a post World War 2 service number) is written in black ink on the inside surface of the belt. The belt has been "blackened" for ceremonial use and has brass fittings, the 2 angled buckles normally located on the rear of the belt have been removed. The 1937 pattern equipment (also known as '37 webbing') was an item of military load-carrying equipment. Pattern 37 replaced the 1908 Pattern and 1925 Pattern—on which it was based—and was standard issue for British and Commonwealth troops from its introduction in 1937, throughout World War II, and in the post-war period until it was superseded by 58 pattern webbing. The design was confirmed on 8 June 1938 and wide-scale issue began in 1939. Towards the end of World War II, some 37 Webbing was produced in jungle green for troops fighting in the Pacific Theatre, although purpose-made 44 Pattern Webbing was then introduced for the humid jungle conditions, being lighter in weight, quicker drying, and rot-proofed.[ Although 44 Pattern continued in use with the British Army for jungle warfare in its various post-World War II colonial conflicts, it did not replace 37 Pattern in general service, which was in use up until the introduction of 58 Pattern. However, 37 Pattern was used for ceremonial purposes and still issued to Cadets in the 1990s. 1937 Pattern Webbing was made from cotton webbing, which was waterproofed and dyed before being woven. The fittings were made of stamped brass and it was produced by various manufacturers.Written in black ink on the inside "Bretterecker" and the number 360053, possibly a post World War 2 service number.webbing belt, dress webbing -

Between 1945 and 1965, two million immigrants arrived in Australia. The decision by the Australian Government to open up the nation in this way was based on the notion of ‘populate or perish’ that emerged in the wake of the Second World War. Among the new immigrants were the first government-sanctioned non-British migrants.A black and white photograph of a ship berthed at Princes Pier, Port Melbourne.

Initially, the student population comprised approximately 50 percent of children from refugee backgrounds (post-World War 2 Europe), such as people of Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, German, Maltese, Greek, Italian and Chinese descent, both born in Australia or new arrivals. ...Initially, the student population comprised approximately 50 percent of children from refugee backgrounds (post-World War 2 Europe), such as people of Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, German, Maltese, Greek, Italian and Chinese descent, both born in Australia or new arrivals. ...With the rapid growth of primary school enrolments in the 1950s (baby boomers), the need for an additional high school in Sunshine was identified. Planning got underway to build a new school but, in the meantime, the Education Department secured alternative premises at St Mark’s in Anderson Road. At the start of 1960, 85 pupils enrolled at the school. There were four full-time teachers; one part-time teacher; a Headmaster; and a secretary. Initially, the student population comprised approximately 50 percent of children from refugee backgrounds (post-World War 2 Europe), such as people of Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, German, Maltese, Greek, Italian and Chinese descent, both born in Australia or new arrivals. Many of them could not speak English. In April 2008, three old friends (students of Australian, Russian and Polish descent) decided to meet at the Polish Club in Ardeer to reminisce about their time as students of Sunshine West High School during the 1960s. Following the successful get-together, the three men agreed to meet regularly on the first Saturday of the month at the same venue. By August 2008, the meeting had attracted 20 people, and by September 2008, 40 people were in attendance. An official reunion was held in November 2008, attended by 98 ex-students and 10teachers. And so, the Thistle Club was born. The Club has become a valuable resource for the school and individuals who have stayed connected to their alumni network.The Thistle Club has been active over the last 18-years with ex-students and teachers meeting monthly at 12 noon at the Polish Sporting Recreation Club in Albion. Membership to the Club is open to alumni from the six decades the school has been in existence. It is considered a valuable social network, with former students also assisting the welfare office with funding for disadvantaged students and the provision of an annual scholarship.5889.01 - Sunshine West High School Thistle Club - Ex Students Of Sunshine West High School Activities At Polish Club 5889.02 - Sunshine West High School Thistle Club - Establishment Of Their Alumni The Thistle Club Sunshine (Extract from Sunshine & District Historical Society Newsletter No 64 March 2023 Page 5)sunshine west high school, lachlan road, sunshine west, thistle club
