The Darebin Historical Encyclopedia has a photo of a young girl at the Northcote Carnegie Library.
This library was used by the girls at Westleigh College, as well as the private library of the Misses Everard, which was in their home on the school site.
She is wearing the winter uniform with the velvet hat, showing the Petersham hatband with the horizontal stripe bearing the school colors.
I am unable to identify the child in the photo, but I know I had a school bag just like this brown leather bag. (Maybe it is me?)
There is another photograph on the linked page (above) that clearly shows a Westleigh College student as the "W" school badge can easily be seen on the hatband.
The photos were taken in the 1950's.
