Can't seem to locate my school photos tonight and I have lent my magazines to a friend.
So here's what I could find on the web. Our school badge and an article on the schools official opening in 1964. It started off with only two years, I was in the first 1st year in 1960, the second years did their 1st year at Narrabeen Boys High school.
Manly Girls’ High School was officially opened fifty years ago, on 17th March 1964, by the Hon Catherine Sidney, daughter of the Governor-General of Australia, Viscount De L’Isle. The building of the school was completed in 1959, and the first girls came to the school in February 1960, but for some reason the official opening took place later, by which time some of the original enrolment had left the school!Miss Sidney commented that she had very little experience of school, having been taught at home by a governess since the age of nine, but she urged the pupils “Use your opportunities and be grateful for them.” Pictured at the opening ceremony are Miss Sidney and Miss E Knodler, the founding Headmistress of Manly Girls’ High School. Miss Knodler was succeeded by Miss M Simpson, who was Headmistress until 1975. 
Old school 'oldies' - 50yrs on. Not looking too bad I reckon.
No Pennie MGH is no more. What Wiki says ....
