SPAN MAGAZINE

Each year the school publishes a magazine called 'Span', which is produced primarily from the efforts of the students.

The format, focus and pubication quality has changed with time and it still remains a wonderful record of the school's achievements.

We have scanned the covers of all the available magazines held at the school and presented them as a slide show accessible below. Out of the very first combined edition (1963-1964) to the 2003 edition, we are only missing the one from 1977. It is believed that a 1988 edition was not published.

The school reported that the magazines for 2004, 2005, and 2006 were only available in an electronic format. Last year (2007) a 'Span' was again printed, but demand by students and families fell short of expectations (on sale for $20 a copy).

For the four year period 1998 to 2001 the magazine was published as 'The Bridge', rather than as the 'Span'.
Can you help with any of the missing editions?

A decision is yet to be made on whether the entire contents of every magazine will be presented on this site, and what will be the best way to present this material.

For starters the first Span magazine (a combined edition for the initial years 1963 & 1964) is now available.
We will quickly work toward scanning & uploading more as time progresses.

The most recent Span magazine (for 2007) has now been uploaded for a direct comparison with the original publication.

At the school we have found limited surplus supplies of some Span magazines (which are really not required by the school).

An accurate stock-take has yet to be carried out, but there are limited extra copies in the '70s and '80s editions, and a larger quantity in the 1990s and 2000+ editions.

The school is willing to sell copies surplus to their needs at a suggested a price of $20 each plus postage costs.
