Fairfield High School, Fairfield NSW - Oral History
Main
Collection SummaryOne oral history interview was recorded in 2005 to document the history of Fairfield High School through the Achiever's Day program. Achievers Day program is an annual program in partnership with one of the 13 High Schools in the Fairfield Local Government area.
The aim is to build relationships with local schools and also collect and archive the schools' histories.
In this project, library staff liaise with the school to identify past students who have achieved in various fields - sports, business, law , politics, etc.., as well as past teachers. We collect their memories in an oral history interview, where they share their memories of the school's history and growth.
Material such as photographs and school yearbooks are also collected and digitised by the library and archived to preserve the history of the school for the wider community.
The finale of this program is a celebration where school students are invited to attend a special event at the library listen to guest speakers being former students and/or teachers speak about the role the school played in their lives and career direction.
