Calls for Lake Macquarie School Photos

Published on 30 April 2020

Our Community History team are compiling a list of school photos of schools (past and present) in our city and we need your help!

We're calling on the community to dig out the old photo albums and share pictures of schools (predominantly buildings) in the Lake Macquarie region.

We’ve compiled a list of schools below that are missing photos as a starting point. But regardless of the era or if the school still exists today, we want to see your photos!

How you can help - Images required

Where possible, please provide an approximate date for when the photo/s were taken. Share your pictures with Lake Mac Libraries on Facebook  and Instagram using the hashtag #LakeMacHistory.

Alternatively, you can email any snaps to our Community History team at history@lakemac.com.au.
