The Robert Porter Collection 1956-1960

This collection of images was donated by Bob Porter who attended Parramatta High from 1956 to 1960. Bob became School Captain.

He has generously donated a large number of images from "The Suitcase" - his old faithful Globite school case which accompanies him to all reunions. Not just of school life, there are many of Parramatta in the late 1950s.
