School days

For many of us school days are our first experience of physical education and organised sports. The photographs from the Department of Education and Communities show students participating in a range of sporting activities including tennis, rowing, football, netball, swimming and life saving.

We will be adding more School Days images over time. You can order high resolution copies of these photographs using the downloadable Digital Copy Order for for original records (PDF, 182kb).
