Ah yeah I'm only a couple of years out of school. I had a few friends go to both those schools.
I went to Westside Christian College. Use to be called Goodna Christian School back in the day.

Lama Tasi who plays for the Roosters had a couple of his siblings go to my school his younger brother Tasi Tasi (great name haha) was the grade belowe me he is a real talent is being looked at by a few clubs at the moment I believe.

 

[Justo]

Not too many big names from my school (Macquarie Fields H.S.).

But while I was there the two alumni that were always mentioned were:

Brett Emerton
Alyson Annan (Gold medal winning hockey player)

and since I left there has only been one other;

Simon Dwyer.

Actually thinking about it, he was probably there at the same time as me, but would have been in year 7 while I was in 11 or 12.

I remember in 1978, it was a friday at school and terry cut his hand in woodwork class and needed stitches. The next day he played for chester hill hornets against us benedict marist brothers. It was a beautiful sunny Saturday day and Terry played one handed that day and still got man of the match. He was a natural. Very gifted. It was the year that hartley ripped off wests against manly in the semi.

 

[Black_Orange_White]

Russell Crowe
Craig Wing

That's about it that I care about.

 

[Centaur]

Went to St Gregs - so the list really is almost endless. Although I don't believe they are strong as they used to be.

Tim Sheens, true story

 

[Jazza]

No NRL talent unfortunately from my school.

I did go to the same Primary School as Toa Asa (Magpies NSW Cup forward from a few years ago), I remember one year I didnt have a tie for my school photos so the teacher sent me to the class he was in and he lent me his tie :laughing:

And also I was very good mates in high school with former Souths Toyota Cup player Jacob Nansen.

Outside of that the only vaguely famous people that went to my school was 3 wishez from The X factor who were a few grades below me in high school, and Matthew Waters (Appeared in the Boy from Oz musical, Round the twist and a few tv ads) in Primary school.

 

[Peaches]

Dean Collis
Ben Roberts
Peter Sterling
Michael Vella
Nathan Gardner
Michael Wenden apparently

Fairfield Patrician Brothers boy by the way

CBHS Lewisham; we had some first graders between the 70s to 90s, like Steve Gearin, Tim Pickup, Paul Osborne, Shane Rigon. Osborne captained the school to the Commonwealth Bank Cup final '84, lost to Gregs (and again in 1986). Solo Haumono was a few years ahead of me, the only kid I'd ever seen dunk the basketball ring in the main yard. Last FG I know of was Andrew Lomu who played for Roosters and Raiders. Not bad for a school that doesn't really offer sporting scholarships and isn't a feeder to any NRL teams.

Socceroo Brett Holman was also a few years below me. Old Swans ruckman Greg Stafford was there too.

Outside of sport, the most famous alumni are probably David Wenham the actor and Dr Victor Chang.

I went to Lewisham too.
Also Shane Rigon and Michael Kanaan (who was famous for the wrong reasons).

Remember watching Terry play for the Hornets - like you say he was a natural.
I played there for a few years , a fair few games with Geoff Robinson who was another guy naturally gifted.
He was same age as me but I played a year older with my mates.
He would often back up for us after his game because he loved being on the field.
Even after already playing a game he was always a standout- you could see he was way ahead of just about everybody else.
Oddly enough he never played prop as a junior - mostly played lock.
Terry Lamb was often our ballboy (his brother Peter was also in our team).
My school was most probably better known for producing the infamous rather than the famous. :laughing:

I was in the same year as Alison Annan when i was a tyke and went to Mac Fields primary.
