Girls Sport @ Petersham Public School NSW in the 1950s and 1960s

I remember Miss Searle being the co-ordinator for Girls Sport at Peto Public during our era.  She was very enthusiastic about encouraging girls to play netball, softball and to compete at our School Athletics Carnival, then at the Zone Carnival, and occassionally at a NSW Schools Athletics Carnival.  Dominic Calnan is one name that I recall very well as making it through to the state competitions as a sprinter.


Fig. 1 Softball teams 1959.  I assume Miss Searle is the teacher in this photo?

Do any of the girls have photos of netball, tennis or athletics events that they participated in?
