September 23 1998 (vernal equinox)
Another windy day, another gallery of Kite Aerial Photographs.
This collection features another, better stereograph taken from the kite.
What does "Parramatta" really mean? The answer awaits.

September 21 1998
Two new pages illustrate the kites used on this site for aerial photography. Have a look at the flowform inflatable kite, or the Delta Conyne "conventional" kite which uses dowels for spars.

September 17 1998
The Sydney Morning Herald's Column 8 features again on our site. This time its an old school tie tie-in.     Another menu of kite aerial photographs makes an appearance, this time with a story of sorts.

August 27 1998
Finally, it all starts to fall into place. Not just a Kite Aerial Photograph... not just a stereograph, but this time a Kite Aerial Stereograph. (Dinkum!)     A new KAP menu is on view, too.

August 24 1998
The 20th anniversary reunion details are available now. If you attended PHS during 1973-78 check this out now!
The first written history of the school, as it appeared in the December 1916 edition of the school magazine. (5 x 25k images)

August 20 1998
The Sydney Morning Herald's Column 8 reported a good joke, but Parramatta High School ran it 77 years earlier!

July 28 1998
Another windy day - some more Kite Aerial Photographs. One of them takes pride of place on the home page - it shows the whole school in one shot.

July 18 1998
Nothing major - just some fine-tuning. The navigation buttons at left are a little more interactive now. Two new stereographs: one of the school and surroundings from a distance, and one of our quad. An addition to the St Johns Cemetery page puts the site in its geographical perspective.

July 5 1998
A 3D view of the Sydney CBD - taken from 20km distance - similar to the view which is marginally visible in the Kite Aerial Photographs noted below.

June 25 1998
A new view of the school - literally. Have a look at some Kite Aerial Photographs taken during the blustery conditions last Tuesday (23/6/98).

June 13 1998
Reunions of ex-students are appearing apace. In today's Sydney Morning Herald the 40th anniversary celebrations are mentioned. This is in addition to the 20th and the 50th already mentioned on these pages.

June 3 1998
The PHS school magazine has been published (with a break during WWII) since 1916. Some of the photographs that appeared from 1916 to 1925 are now available.

May 21 1998
The ex-students section has a number of additions. There is an invitation to the 20 year reunion and an online survey we are asking all ex-students to complete and email back to us (please)

May 16 1998
15 minutes of fame... The Sydney Morning Herald's "Icon" liftout today features a review of this site in their "What Works on the Web" column. No links, sorry. The copyright boys would have a field day.

May 14 1998
The 1930s at PHS are fondly remembered, starting at history page 4 and extending on with a number of links and images.

May 10 1998
Some more photos have been added to historical images page 2.
(Largely shots of the original building in the 30's.)
There is a new page of historical photos, with a sporty theme.

Oh... I almost forgot! There's also a new animated GIF as well. WARNING Gratuitous frivolity!

April 23 1998
Minor revisions have been made to ensure that our site complies with departmental guidelines.

You'l find a little more on this at our policy statement.


The above entry (April 23 1998) was the first What's Gnu entry on this site.
