Horsham Downs Primary
These days Dawn Gage-Brown spends much of her time knitting at the Matamata Country Lodge, but the 85-year-old intends to attend everything that's on offer at Horsham Downs Primary School celebrations later this month.
"I'll be going the whole weekend probably, staying with my daughter (Rae Corin). Whatever's happening, it will be really good. It's a shame my dad's not there to join in as well."
Her father, Lionel Anthony, became principal/head teacher at the small school in 1938.
"He was strict but kind, nobody disliked him. I know he was my father, but he was a really good teacher and taught me nearly the whole way through."
Dawn says she was very happy at Horsham Downs, and the family lived in the house by the school.
