And what a night it was! over 150 former staff and pupils came back to their old school to see the changes, hook up with old friends and relive old memories. Oldest boy was George Hollings who attended school in the 1920's, he joined up with 3 other old school mates who he had not seen in some time.
Our new artist in residence Rose Borthwick spent the evening collecting stories and memorabilia from the students and teachers, which will form part of her exhibition in November 'past, present, future'
Rose will be regularly writing on this blog to share her own personal journey,and snippets of stories from the reunion as she puts together her first body of work for Shine.
The team at Shine are keen to help old school mates remain in contact with each other, so do watch this space for more news and ways to reconnect with each other
Brian & Arthur Clark wrote in with the following comments, if you attended the school please feel free to let us know your thoughts and suggestions for how you might like to reconnect with each other
" I am just writing to thank you for the excellent job you did for the school reunion at Harehills County secondary school or the cow sheds as we used to know it.Transformation of the building is well done to an excellent standard i am sure it will be a huge success.Thank you once again also for the lucky dip bag!".
