Janine Hawes (Gilleland)
Have been a million miles since Miami High, but would like to catch up with a few old faces from the past, and see what everyone has been up to. I have 2 children and 3 Grandchildren with more to come! Never thought I'd make it! I have been divorced, widowed and now married to a fantastic man for the last 10 years. We live on the central coast of NSW, but the rest of my family are still on the Gold Coast including my son, Shannon and NO 1 Grandson, Kaleb 6. My daughter Trisha-Marie, lives on the Central Coast as well, with Grandson #2, Blake also 6 and Grand-daughter Ciara-Rose (Rosie for short) is 2 1/2. I am a very proud Grandma.

I attended Miami High in 1973, (grade 10). I went on to finish senior at Aspley High school, followed by degrees at Grifith, Canberra and Australian national Universities. After some time serving as an Army Officer I entered the Information technology industry and now architect large computer/information systems. I fondly remember playing Shylock in the Miami High production of the Merchant of Venice, and the relaxed atmosphere of the school.
