Harry Fredrick Cleaver Kau.20 August 2008. Harry Kau best_AnzacDay2013_ModHarry Frederick Cleaver KAU (1933) our oldest living old boy was born on 20 June 1916 and attended CCGS from 1924 until he was forced to return to Coorow to help on the family farm, cut out of virgin bush by his father in 1910. It was extraordinarily hard work, initially using horse drawn carts, planting and cropping equipment. In the 1930s he helped survey and create a road from Coorow to Greenhead on the coast; this was just a small part part of the extensive community work he would undertake over the next half-century. Harry enrolled in the 25th Light Horse during WW II, was on the Board of the Three Springs Hospital for 33 years, became a JP, is still a member of the Freemasons after more than 60 years and has honorary life membership in the Coorow Football Club where he remains the Patron. Harry had very happy memories of CCGS and was delighted when his son Alan and four grandsons (Mostyn and Reagan Kau, Piers and Zane Randell) subsequently became students at the School.
