Standing on the hill, we pause
And in a trance we turn.
To recollect the hazy days
The simple joys of youth.
A tranquil peace accompanies
As though 'twere a play.
We shiver as we gaze upon
The world that we once knew.
The
RAAF school on Penang Island functioned as a pre-school, primary
and secondary school for dependants of Royal Australian Air Force
personnel deployed at Butterworth from 1962 to 1988.
Read the School History page to
learn more about RAAF school and schooling prior to 1962.
RAAF school closed in 1988, but the
memories last forever! Read the history, peruse student and staff
biographies, attend reunions, see class photos, sign the guestbook
and enjoy a trip down memory lane!
