Re: Hollins
Hey Suebardo, You must of been a bit brainier than me then.Do you remember going to the annex at Woodnook primary in our first year & that evil headmaster Mr Nutter. I can see him now with his adolf hitler comb over & mrs meals (meals on wheels) was our year teacher.

Re: Hollins
I started Hollins in 1977. It well confused me on the first day when I mistakedly went in the boys yard instead of the girls yard, that was really embarassing. Mr Bacon, Mr Cross, Mr Vizzard (remember learning the barn dancing for the Christmas parties) oh what memories!!!

Re: Hollins
I remember Mr Nutter. Scared me to death. I remember him walking around holding the cane behind his back.

Re: Hollins
I belive Hollins is now A college of technology or something now is that right? I took a look at the website. They look like real posh kids from up hollins lane who go now. Ive been living in Australia for over 20yrs & things have really changed, Ive only been back to Accy once since i moved over here.

Re: Hollins
From what I have seen taking my daughter to school at Hollins, most of the kids coming out of the houses up there are in St Chris's uniform.
It ain't posh and we moved over to get my daughter in to Hollins, but it is a good school.
