Several students and staff of the former Collingwood Technical School attended the day and enjoyed viewing the Johnston Street buildings as well as reflecting on their time at the school. Special thanks to Trevor Cook for minding the table while we took some photos! The day was also filled with music and entertainment including a variety of artist workshops, market stalls selling secondhand and artistic products and our own trestle table with photographs and memorabilia on display from Collingwood Technical School. Other recent updates to the site include pages on past students Ron Williams and Robert James, a new form photo for 1961 and additions to the memorabilia pages. </div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[COLLINGWOOD TECHNICAL COLLEGE REUNION & OPEN DAY - SATURDAY MARCH 13TH 2021]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://collingwoodtechnicalcollege.weebly.com/forum/collingwood-technical-college-reunion-open-day-saturday-march-17th-2021]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://collingwoodtechnicalcollege.weebly.com/forum/collingwood-technical-college-reunion-open-day-saturday-march-17th-2021#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 04 Mar 2021 10:30:56 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://collingwoodtechnicalcollege.weebly.com/forum/collingwood-technical-college-reunion-open-day-saturday-march-17th-2021</guid><description><![CDATA[Hi all,I would like to warmly extend an invitation to you all to attend the 'Grand Opening Day' celebration at Collingwood Technical College on Saturday 13th March 2021 at 12 noon to commemorate the opening of the new 'Collingwood Yards' Arts Hub (affiliated with Arts Victoria).

Renovations to the Johnston Street building have recently been completed by Arts Victoria and though access is still limited, we managed to visit the Caretaker's residence using the new elevator that has been installed next to the refurbished staircase. <span>In February 2020, I was informed by a member of Contemporary Arts Precincts of plans to convert the Caretaker's residence into a rooftop bar to be titled 'The Caretaker's Residence'. Due to COVID, plans were delayed but on our visit, we met the owners who were friendly and interested in the history of the building. We would like to thank them for allowing us to take some photos of the building prior to continuation of renovation work. </span><br /><br />The Caretaker's Residence forms part of a new complex called 'Collingwood Yards' which features several shops and artist studios which sell products including records and books, to the public. I have been told that the name was derived from 'TechYards', which is a reference to material in the Collingwood Technical School archives, and was specifically included in an interview with the former Caretaker, Bert Eastman, in the Melbourne Times on his retirement (this article can be read on our 'Bert Eastman & Family' page under Memories of Past Staff and Students). </font><br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(42, 42, 42)">As of January 2021, renovations are also underway of the shops adjacent to the Johnston Street building. Only the facades facing Johnston Street remain and the internals are being gutted in the process. </span>​</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Site Update - 21st April, 2019]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://collingwoodtechnicalcollege.weebly.com/forum/site-update-21st-april-2019]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://collingwoodtechnicalcollege.weebly.com/forum/site-update-21st-april-2019#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Sun, 21 Apr 2019 10:02:49 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://collingwoodtechnicalcollege.weebly.com/forum/site-update-21st-april-2019</guid><description><![CDATA[Hi all, hope everyone is enjoying the Easter break.
