Greek School

I attended the Saturday morning Greek School through 1979 and 1980, when I was in Years 9 and 10. I was a fair bit older than most of the other kids, as I’d only started learning Greek a few years before, and most kids from Greek families went to Greek School alongside ‘normal school’.

Being non-Greek, older and pale with curly red hair, I was quite the novelty at Greek School. Plus, my surname was hard to translate as the Greek alphabet doesn’t have equivalent letters for ‘W’ or ‘B’ (sounding like ‘bee’ rather than ‘vee’ as the sound in Greek for ‘beta’).  Unfortunately I can’t find my reports from those years, although I do have my copy of ‘My Greek Reader for the Second Grade’ (8th edition, 1977) which I think was published for Australian Greek Schools (it includes a Bondi Beach contact address). It’s primarily in Greek, but has vocab lists in English.
