Description: Size: 128 x 182 mm A school photo taken in the yard of St. Joseph's School in Nicholson Street Abbotsford (which became a technical school in 1930 and closed at the end of 1990). With a backdrop of the brick wall of the two-storey school, a group of 200-300 boys are lined up. Behind them are five Christian Brothers and a couple of older boys who could be teachers or prefects. All the boys wear boots and knee-length socks with trousers to the knee or slightly longer. Many wear Norfolk jackets; almost all wear stiff white Eton collars and ties. At least one has a large lace collar and a number wear sailor suits. Two boys stand out because they are wearing jumpers without jackets. Beyond the corrugated iron fence are some mature trees and the backs of houses in Mollison Street.
