Historical information

A distinctive event for the Junior Technical School in 1942 was the retirement of the founding Headmaster, Mr A.W. Steane. His replacement was Mr C.F. Jeffery from Wangaratta High School. He revived the Annual Speech Night with a gathering in the Masonic Hall on 8 December 1942. These events may have been stopped during the Depression years when the number of students attending school dropped.
The Students' Association introduced the House system in 1919 - blue, yellow and green - the School colours.
.1 item lists three Houses - blue, yellow and green
Twenty-five years later, in 1944, a fourth House was created due to the increased school enrolment in the Post Depression years.
.2 item lists four Houses - blue, yellow, green and red
