No specific information is available on these buttons. As they have an emblem of the Scotch thistle they may come from Scotland. They would be used on a jacket, mostly for males, with the larger buttons used on the front of the jacket and the smaller ones on the sleeves. These buttons have no known provenance and are suitable for display only. These are fifteen metal buttons. They are diamond-shaped with five larger ones and ten smaller ones. They all have an etching of a Scotch thistle on them and a ring at the back for attachment to clothing.

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

When the newly married William and Anna Maria Greenlaw acquired the property in 1862, an existing house known as Studley Villa stood on the land. John Hodgson probably built the latter soon after he bought three portions of land here in 1853. The Greenlaws changed the name of the residence to Villa Alba in about 1870 and in 1882-84 rebuilt the house to create the present mansion. After William Greenlaw’s death in 1895, John Ballinger rented the house until 1914. The lease then passed to Samuel and Esther Fripp, who went on to purchase the property in 1918 after Anna Maria Greenlaw’s death in 1918.This rare textile is associated with the most significant period of Villa Alba's history and is an example of the colonial aspirations of its citizens in the boom years of the 1880s before the crash that engulfed the owner.Small white damask tablecloth or napkin embroidered with the crest of William Greenlaw, the owner of Villa Alba in Walmer Street, Kew.
