TERRIBLE NEWS BUSHFIRE AT ROSEDALE
Ex-teacher Mrs Jean Reid - who commenced teaching at Daramalan College on Day One in 1962 - lost her Rosedale home and possessions in the New Year's eve South Coast fires. She is safe but now homeless at 104-years of age and is staying with one of her daughters in Canberra. Another daughter, who lived next door to Jean in Rosedale, also lost everything in these terrible fires.
Mrs Reid is a true Daramalan icon who played a huge role in creating the first Learning Support department in the school’s early days.
Her family will need a lot of help in re-establishing their lives, so I have started a GoFundMe page to assist them and I would encourage your support in any way you can. The link is here:

I will keep you across any developments.
Thank you. Bernard Kane – Daramalan Alumni Administrator.
