What were the "house names" in your school?

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Same as the houses at Goldstone Junior School on Ellen Street.

GJS in Ellen Street - that's taken me back. Mr Mitchell, Mrs Hovell and old Spainy of course.

Plus Messrs Spittle, Cox and Church.

I know of at least 2 other regular posters on NSC who are former SGS pupils. Interestingly, all the boarders had to be in Holland House because he was the guy that founded the school back in 1614.

SGS was, and still is by all accounts, a good school. Ron Tulley, John Alabone, Peter Bolton (RIP) - happy days.

It could be that we both know the same poster on here who went to SGS. It was a good school, it took me some years to realise that, certainly far better than many. I remember those who you mentioned, Ron Tully was my form tutor in the VIth form, I would add another name to your list of teachers; Norm Wright (who remains one of the few people in any educational establishment to inspire me).

I'm genuinely and pleasantly surprised at how popular this thread is. Considering how mental a certain other thread is going this seems quite genteel. Certainly been a nice trip down memory lane.

I did some time at Falmer and as Lord b mentioned re; the university the houses

there were also called Warwick, Lancs, Essex and ...can't remember

but when I was at moulsecoomb middle Mr Le Bas(tard) also proudly announced

we'd all be in houses... Lewes Arundel Hastings and Chicester, but it never came

to anything (a bit like the swimming pool we done so many sponsored walks for

on the 70's) an another thing...

What about finishing school?

It was much simpler at finishing school:

Sex
Drugs
Rock & Roll

or for the really boring:
Holding Your Cutlery Properly And Not Like A Common Person.

I was in Cliffe & we had to wear green rugby shirts for all sports lessons. Other houses I remember were Firle, Kingston.........f*** me that's all I can remember, well it was over 30 years ago.

Lewes Priory; I f***ing hated it.

When were you there, Smudge; I was 69-75? I think your missing house is Caburn which was blue and I only remember that because I was in it.

 

[andybaha]

Smith. And it was Willett not Willets (I was in it) Also, pedantically, it was not BHASVIC then. I think they were the names of former Heads or teachers.

You beat me to it. I was in Smith when it was Brighton Hove and Sussex Grammar School.
