Foundation day pupil	Mary Maddren(nee Travers) Lexus.Valley@scifleet.com.au	My contact with the school started from the very first morning the school was opened in 1960. I was the first pupil at the school, arriving at 3.30am that first morning. My Aunt and I sat at the end of A Block(the only block built!), playing cards by torchlight and as the sun came up we watched the rabbits running about on the grass out by the cabbage trees. The next pupil, Brian Hitchon arrived at 5am and we went on to be the first Head Prefects of the school, holding this office for two years. My connection did not finish there. From school, I went on to Canterbury University and Christchurch Teachers College, married at the start of 1969 and took up my first teaching position that same year, back at Burnside,as a fulltime English teacher. I only taught for one year, before the first of our four children arrived. Our children are now scattered around the world, while my husband and I reside in Brisbane, Australia. We both still have elderly relatives living in Christchurch so we often travel back to Christchurch for fleeting visits. At these times we try to attend concerts or performances being given by your students. I have always been proud of my connection with Burnside and with a family interest in Performing Arts, have followed very closely the successes of Burnside students and the establishment and success of the Aurora Centre.
Foundation day pupil	Peter Mutton jennipeter@optusnet.com.au	Another of the 300 odd pupils of that 1st.day in 1960.Memories flood back on reading this site,the Bridal Path Trek and Mr Strange(maths) with his squaw on the hipponeuse = the squaws on the other two hides. Left Christchurch 1969 to live and work in Fiji,PNG now in Brisbane.
Foundation day pupil	Don Smith jennydon@netaccess.co.nz	I am a foundation day pupil who joined the few under the cabbage trees on that first day in 1960. Gosh, it must be getting close to another reunion time, surely? Less than eight years to wait! After reading some of the other names on the list and learning of the interesting lives they have led, it kind of makes mine sound boring.. worked, married, two boys.. now both grown up with lives of their own.. married again, travelled a bit and now living the quiet life in Christchurch. I too, would like to catch up with some of the kids that shared those carefree days from '60 to '64
Foundation day pupil	Basil Winterbourn basil.winterbourn@otraco.com	I am resident in Perth, Australia but visit New Zealand regularly. I am interested in learning of other Foundation Day pupils
Foundation day pupil	Dr Janice Priest (nee Stinear) janice@healthyoptions.co.nz	Burnside High School remains entrenched in my consciousness as the trophy of my young adult education. I learned to rock and roll, ride double on bikes, art inspiration, wear thick stockings and gloshes in winter, maths challenges, marching and boy friends. Unfortunately I became the first pupil to be transferred in the later part of the 4th Form, due to parents role as Coca Cola manufacturers. I went onto to graduate as a Nurse in Wellington, married, widowed, etc, 4 children.Trained as a Naturopathic Doctor, an Honorary Doctorate, author, established an international publishing company called Healthy Options Ltd ( 24years ) producing wellness magazines etc. Also an educational company and a Charitable Trust for community wellness projects.

During my time here I have remarried & moved several times. Now living in a country area just out of Canterbury in Kent. So my association with Canterbury in another part of the world is destined to live on. I have been fortunate to have been in contact with some former school friends & recently met one of them who is over here on extended leave from her teaching career. It would be good to catch up with more of my old school friends either through this connection or Freinds Reunited, etc. Maybe later on at the 50th Anniversary of the school.

I know have my own marketing consultancy based here in Greymouth which has kept me busy since I arrived back. I was in 3W1 – 6W1 (1983-88) when Mr Innes was DP and Mr Godfrey was Principal. I loved Burnside and had some of the best years of my life there! I would love to hear about any upcoming reunions and look forward to hearing from people who were there when I was.

1984 - 89	Robyn Pett (now Twemlow) twemlows@clear.net.nz	I was in South Division, 3S3 from memory. Mr Fletcher was our divisional principal and I remember him driving us in his old Landrover to water polo matches when we couldn't get minivans. My year in 4S3 is a bit of a blur but I think we had Mr Phillips for English 5S2 is also a bit vague - I was juggled in to a classroom that would fit my refusal to do science in the 5th form - I think I was the only kid that didn't do it. I think we had Mr Lees for English. I left in my 6th form year thinking it would be fun to work in advertising with Saatchi & Saatchi. It turned out working was harder than school so I came back in 1989 to get UE. It was a fantastic year and I did all the subjects I enjoyed like drama with Mr Skerten and Mr Smith; Journalism with Mr Duff, Art History with Ms Orme and English with Mrs Thwaites. Off I went to Canterbury University, got a BA and a Diploma in Journalism, lived in Auckland for a year, tripped around the world for a bit, then came home. At the moment I'm working as a journalist part time for The Press and its community paper The Mail from home, while also juggling looking after my 22-month old daughter and my husband! Burnside High School is a great school and in a few more years we are going to sacrifice living in the fabulous Heathcote Valley to move in to zone so that our daughter can go to Burnside too.

Anyway.
1997 - 99	Tze Fui, Liam tliam@gmail.com	Burnside, the place to have fun while study! I had a lot of fun when I was in the west division. Thanks Burnside as I met some of my lifelong friends who I still contact frequently with. Thanks for all the brilliant teachers who bear patiently with our naughtiness and those who teach us with love especially Mr Weusten, Mr Warren, Mr Boyd, Mrs Mattingley.The beef pies from the canteen are nice, and the library is a great place to hang out, especially winter. It was great to have met you guys... vic, jeng, pang, simon... If I have a 2nd life, I would surely choose Burnside again!

1999 - 2000	Nicole Lassen-Kumfert Nicole Lassen-Kumfert	I had a great time at Burnside High and would really wish to come back to New Zealand one day.I really enjoyed myself over there. By now, I've been in the German army for exactly five years - training hard to become an artillery officer. I've got seven years of time left at the army before I can do something else - like moving to New Zealand or so. Last year I married a long known friend.
1999	John Liu t hreegaymen@hotmail.com	"I am now living in Brisbane, Australia, going to a school where the pupil simply throw their rubbish on the ground after finishing their food, and every now and then a guy and a girl are caught in the toilets together. I really don't see the point WHY my parents sent me to this school, or why they sent me to Brisbane in the first place! My two short years at Burnside were probably the most valuable memories I have: I will always remember them. Burnside rocks!"
1999 - 2002	Glen Morales no_quarter@pa radise.net.nz	I am studying at the University of Canterbury and would like to make a big shout out to everyone in 7th form. Thank you so much Burnside High, you are truly an awesome high school.

This is Jeffrey Davidson and I just thought I'd be the first of the leavers '04' from Burnside High School to write in this section. Started from the year 2000 as a year 9 (3rd Form) student, finished year 13 (7th Form) in the end of 2004. 5 years go so fast. I was there during the creations of the I Block area and development of the wicked Aurora Centre. I am currently in Gold Coast, Australia trying to get through Uni, doing Digital Design (Thanks heaps to Mr Gardiner). Can't wait until the reunion. If any leavers '04' wishes to contact me, email at lil_j_meister@hotmail.com or jeffreydavidson23@hotmail.com. Go the people of BHS!!!
