ACTA MAGAZINES - The collection!
We need your help! We have bound copies of 1943, 1952, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960 and 1961 BUT do not have whole, preserved single copies for the 75 year collection. We have no copies - real or even a photocopy of 1963 and 1968! Help! Do you have them? Would you consider donating them to the school collection? Please email: czilm1@eq.edu.au if you have them today! We would be very grateful!
Below we are slowly scanning the ACTA magazines for everyone to enjoy! Those with red backgrounds are active and available. Enjoy! Also a sneak peak at the 2009 ACTA magazine cover - the 75th edition of the school's annual magazine celebrating 75 years of memories. Click on it to see the collage of covers from every 5 years since the first one!
