34
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: Now what is the go with this time capsule? Is

35
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: it lost?

36
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: We can't find it.

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: The school grounds.

38
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: Apparently we had been putting posts on Facebook and there

39
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: have been a few suggestions, like the old canteen oval,

40
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: but we can't find it. So if you know anything,

41
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: reach out.

42
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: When was it buried or when was it puts?

43
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: It was another good question.

44
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 4: Some some somehow I remember the old touch shop around

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 4: there somewhere might near the jack Emma.

46
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 3: Phenomenal it has.

47
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: We've gone from three hundred and sixty students from into

48
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen when I started, and now we're at five

49
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty, so it is it is growing rapidly.

50
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: It's phenomenal all the way that the school's grown, and

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: it is a fantastic school. I know plenty of kids

52
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: that have gone through Larachie School and plenty of graduates

53
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: you know from many years ago, like yourself, Barty, and

54
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: it is great to see the school sort of going

55
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: from strength to strength. What are some of the what

56
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: are some the fond memories do you think that people

57
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: are going to be sharing and and really looking back

58
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: to when you celebrate on Thursday.

59
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 2: Well, we've been promoting this event on Facebook and we've

60
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: been asking questions for example, where where do you think

61
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: the time capsule is? But also who is your favorite principal?

62
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: Why are you find memories? And some comments are playing marbles?

63
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, Bartie, did you ever play marbles on

64
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 2: the school over?

65
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: What did you play?

66
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: But it's those kind of conversations what they used to

67
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: do back in the day, which is great.

68
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: Definitely there was a little marble playing back in the day.

69
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was huge when we were kid. Absolutely, do

70
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:51,240

00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: tell me in terms of for you Barty, growing up

72
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,360

73
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: your fond memories And they're obviously very full because you've

74
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: sent your own kids there.

75
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 4: No, look, I think you know, there's a lot of locals,

76
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,560

77
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 4: and they're still in down It's just the local culture.

78
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 4: Everyone you know says good ay, and you know it

79
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: was just a close knit community and today, you know,

80
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 4: to see that still follow through with people around in

81
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 4: the territory just shows you know, the resilience that people

82
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 4: have up here and they stick around. And you know,

83
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 4: if we are sending our kids to the same school

84
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 4: forty years later, it's just a testimony to you know,

85
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 4: it's a great environment and learning environment as well as

86
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,359

88
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: you know, those long term territorians and the territory, the

89
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: way that we do stick together. But the resilience of

90
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: the territory, which I think is really lovely.

91
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,479
