Canberra High School to Close in 1970 Says Education Branch
In a Canberra High School Parents and Citizens meeting Mr Foskett of the education branch outlined the Department of the Interior’s reasons for closing the school at end of 1970. Declining enrolment from 850 in 1964 to around 600 now, projected under 500 in the early 70s, raises questions about future amalgamations with Dickson Campbell and Watson high schools. The discussion touched on planning, morale, and potential pupil transfers to other departmental schools amid impending closure.
