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

Sunshine West High School started in 1960 with classes held in the old church and the church hall of St Mark's Anglican Church, Sunshine, Victoria, 3020. The school transferred to Lachlan Road, West Sunshine when the new building was completed. In 1961 the proportion of students from European background was almost 52% and those of British-Australian almost 48%. By 1965 the number of students totalled 699, with 28 of them being the first to do the Form 6 (Year 12) Matriculation exam. By 1969 the number of students had increased to the point that some classes were held in shelter sheds. In 1992 the multi campus Sunshine College was formed through the amalgamation and restructure of six schools: Sunshine West High School, Sunshine Technical School, Ardeer High School, North Sunshine Technical School, Sunshine High School, and Tottenham Technical School. The last two school sites were closed and are now occupied by Victoria University and the Tottenham English Language Centre respectively. Sunshine West High School became the junior West Campus of Sunshine College. The style of school uniform displayed here is not used by the Sunshine College. The girls had two sets of uniforms, one for the summer and one for the winter. The frock and blazer (as displayed) were for the summer but a grey straw hat, grey socks, and black shoes were also part of the compulsory uniform. The displayed grey v-necked jumper could be worn in both summer and winter. The winter outfit consisted of a blue shirt, a tie (as displayed), a grey box pleated tunic, blazer, grey stockings, black shoes, a blue felt hat and grey gloves. Of particular interest is that the boys did not have to wear the feminine looking style of grey jumper with the pink and blue stripes. They wore a dark blue jumper. There was a 'uniform inspection' carried out after the Monday morning assembly and the Prefects had the task of policing students to make sure that they wore the full complement of items, both to and from school. The 3 badges indicate that the female student was a member of the School Council, which had replaced the Prefects around 1969 or 1970, and she was also Captain of one of the 4 Sports Houses and of her Form.

(3) Discussions with two former students.Sunshine West High School played a significant part in the secondary education of local children, however the school had a relatively short life span in its own right during the latter part of the twentieth century. The items of girls school uniform, the school insignia, and the 3 metal badges serve as a historical reminder of the previous existence of the school, and of the colours and designs of these items.Four items of girls school uniform plus 3 metal badges: (1) Dark blue blazer with school insignia on the left breast pocket. (2) Blue and white striped frock. (3) Light grey v-necked jumper with dark blue, light blue, and pink stripes around the neck and the cuffs. (4) Dark blue tie with light blue and pink diagonal stripes. The 3 badges are School Captain, House Captain, and Form Captain.Insignia on blazer - SWHS / COURAGE AND WISDOMsunshine west high school, lachlan road, sunshine west, donna carland

The Croatian Catholic Centre Sunshine was founded in the early 1980s as part of a wider reorganisation of Croatian pastoral care in Victoria. Its foundation stone was blessed in 1983, and the Centre grew into one of the largest Croatian Catholic centres in the world, centred on the Church of St Leopold Bogdan Mandić. These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 1990, were published just after the church had major renovations completed costing $2 million.The Croatian Catholic Centre Sunshine, today known as HKC Sunshine / Church of St Leopold Bogdan Mandić, is one of the major Croatian Catholic institutions in Victoria.Croatian Catholic Centre Fitzgerald Road Sunshine West 405.2croatian catholic centre sunshine, fitzgerald road, sunshine west

The Glengala Road shopping strip in Sunshine West emerged during the 1960s–1970s, following post‑war suburban expansion. Its earliest shops appeared in the mid‑1920s, but the area did not become a true neighbourhood shopping centre until the post‑war immigration boom transformed Sunshine West into a residential suburb. Mid‑1920s — First development begins The Glengala Estate was laid out west of Kororoit Creek. Sunshine West was still semi‑rural, with the Sunshine Golf Club as one of the few landmarks. No substantial shopping strip existed yet. 1950s–1960s — Post‑war immigration boom Sunshine West expanded rapidly as new housing estates were built. Migrant families (Maltese, Greek, Italian, Yugoslav, later Vietnamese) settled in the area. This population growth created demand for a local shopping centre. 1960s — The Glengala Road shops emerge The strip between 66–88 Glengala Road becomes the core of the neighbourhood centre. By 1965, shops included: Furniture store (Aguis C.F.)
