The Falcon was the year book produced each year at NSBHS.

We have scanned the issues from 1971, 1970, 1969, 1968 and 1967. (HSC results for the class of 1970 are in the 1971 edition, 4th form School Certificate results are shown in the 1969 edition)

We have two versions of each issue available online. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) was run for both versions, so you should be able to use the FIND feature.

   • 1965 was the last Leaving Certificate (5 years),

   • 1967 the first HSC (after 6 years of schooling),

   • so there was no final year examination in 1966
