rising-flame Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 One of the girls that went to my school was a girl called Lindsay Payne. She was in the biz (old cbbc show about a drama school) and for those in the UK the girl in the "wear your seatbelt" ad, the one who screams and screams. That's her!

Dan F Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Found out a few weeks ago that I went to the same High School (and then the same Upper School) as the author Robert Harris (Imperium, Enigma etc.) Funny thing was I was in a bookshop in Sydney and a lady recommended Imperium to me....small world!

Luc Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I found out today 'The Voice' John Farnham went to my school, and Mix 101.1's Tracey Bartram Johnny attended Lyndale State Primary and then went onto Lyndale High. High School treated him a little better and it was here that he got his first glimpse of his future career. Johnny and a couple of school friends formed a band called "The Mavericks". They practiced in their parents lounge rooms and after a couple of guitar lessons they knew 4 chords (C, G, F and A). They performed at School Socials and generally had a good time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
