It's a long time ago, Dave, but I seem to recall my father telling me that he wanted the word "Technical" removed as he felt that the title "The William Baker School" more accurately reflected the educational changes made and was both warmer and more distinctive. I may be wrong of course!

Dave, What Authority insisted that the "Technical" be removed from the school name?
It was the "William Baker Technical School when it opened in 1922 and to the best of my knowledge, when it closed in 1967 In the same way that we were all raised in DR BARNARDOS HOMES!!!
The reason behind that decision is an insult to all those dedicated members of staff who sent so many of us on the road to a successful life.
If our 'Masters' were not qualified, just take a look at todays education results!!!

We are in the process of copying the Goldonians to our site which is very consuming in time but we will plod on so every one has a chance to recall their time at the William Baker Technical School with the last one first 1967,and by this time authority insisted that the "Technical" was removed due to "masters" not being qualified! for modern teachings!.How blinkered was this observation?
So as you read the last Goldonian March 1967 you will notice it is now "The William Baker School"
Johnny Allen (mid 60's)is asking if anyone can recall his friend Malcolm Turner from Cairns,as he would like to get in touch if anyone has contact with him.
