The partnership involved a cash grant of up to $75,000, paid in three annual payments, to support the employment of a part-time historian. The historian was to research and write content to be published on the Dictionary of Sydney and would focus the study on Schools of Arts, Mechanics and other like Institutes (eg Railway Institutes, Literary Institutes, etc), Free Libraries, Private/Subscription Libraries and Technical Education. The first cheque of $25,000 was presented by the Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts to the Dictionary of Sydney Trust at a ceremony hosted by the Lord Mayor Clover Moore. The function recognised the 175th anniversary of the Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts and celebrated its ongoing contribution to education and learning in Sydney. The ceremony took place in the Lord Mayor’s Reception Room on 14 November 2008. Roger Morris, President SMSA; Lord Mayor Clover Moore MP; and Dr Shirley Fitzgerald, Chair Dictionary of Sydney Trust. The SMSA partnership and the ceremonial cheque presentation were publicised to Dictionary of Sydney supporters through the Dictionary of Sydney E- Newsletter in September 2008 and December 2008 respectively. The partnership was a highlight in the 2009 Annual Report. A Memorandum of Understanding was drawn up between the Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts and the Dictionary of Sydney Trust to formalise the partnership. This was signed on 13 May 2009. This forms Attachment A to this report. Progress Report to Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts – Year 3, July 2011 Page 2 Year 1 Achievements (2009) In late 2008 Catherine Freyne was appointed as the inaugural Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts Writer-in-Residence. Catherine studied Australian history and Spanish language at the University of New South Wales, and has been engaging exuberantly with both disciplines ever since. Catherine started her position with the Dictionary in 2009. She divided her professional time between the Dictionary of Sydney and ABC Radio National where she produced social history documentaries for Hindsight. The first part of the year was spent researching the subject areas of the SMSA’s history, the development of scientific and technical knowledge, and education in Sydney, including worker education in relation to Sydney’s history, and to brainstorm ideas for entries for the Dictionary. This was required to establish the strengths and gaps in the historiography and to identify relevant sources, including manuscript collections and pictorial material. A list of suggested entries, both thematic and biographical, was developed by Catherine and this guided the first entries written. A surprising gap in the literature was discovered in terms of biographical research on key figures involved in technical education. A substantial amount of original research was undertaken to bring the historical contribution of these amazing figures to light. The entries researched and written by Catherine are highly curated in terms of pictorial and manuscript material; this reflects her passionate interest in making the most of the Dictionary’s multimedia capabilities. Four major entries were completed by Catherine in 2009. Entry Words The School of Arts movement 6699 Selfe, Norman 4027 McKenzie, Violet 3492 Sydney Technical College 6918 TOTAL: 21136 The article on Norman Selfe was a substantial piece of original research. This article was also published in the Sydney Journal, the academic e-journal that is associated with the Dictionary of Sydney. http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/ojs/index.php/sydney_journal/article/view/1186 This article in the Sydney Journal was promoted in the June 2009 e-newsletter. Catherine also commissioned articles from other writers. Entry Author Words Lawson, Louisa Susan Magarey 2076 Maiden, Joseph Jodie Frawley 2353 National Art School Deborah Beck 2405 TOTAL: 6834 A list of Schools of Arts was obtained and research undertaken to confirm dates and locations, so that the organisations could be added, annotated and mapped within the Dictionary of Sydney. As a result of this research, a special map was curated of the Schools of Arts in Sydney. This provides a visual presentation of the location, geographical spread, construction dates and lifespan of the many Schools of Arts across Sydney. All of the Schools of Arts in this map were entered as entities as buildings and have their own map, timeline and summary information. Arcadia School of Arts Hall is an example.

  • National Art School 2019–2025 Strategic Plan Executive Summary
    National Art School 2019–2025 Strategic Plan Executive Summary The National Art School (NAS) sits on one of the most significant sites in Australia – a meeting place for the Gadigal people, the site of the oldest gaol in Australia – and since 1922 the National Art School has called this site home. Over 185 years since our founding, and 96 years on this site, we have had a dynamic history, with many of Australia’s leading artists studying and teaching here. National Art School alumni have framed late 19th Century and 20th Century Australian art practice. They have formed a significant part of the Art Gallery of NSW’s exhibitions and collection acquisitions. One in five Archibald Prize winners has come from the National Art School. But our future is in preparing contemporary artists to be well equipped for the 21st Century. At the leading art fair in the Asia Pacific – the 2018 Sydney Contemporary Art Fair, 56 out of 337 artists were NAS alumni – that is one in 6, more than any other art institution. The National Art School is Australia’s leading independent fine art school; a producer of new art; a place to experience and participate in the arts; and a presentation venue. Our future vision is for a vital and energetic arts and education precinct. A place where art is made, rehearsals take place, art is seen and most importantly people can experience and participate in art. We will partner with other NSW arts organisations to deliver valuable ACDP objectives for the engagement and participation with people living and/or working in regional NSW, people living and/or working in Western Sydney, Aboriginal people, people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, people with disability, and young people.

  • Gavin Moodie, Griffith University
    VET in a dual sector context: augury or anomaly? Gavin Moodie, Griffith University Abstract Until the 1990s dual sector universities have been understood as a Victorian eccentricity shared by the Northern Territory, understandable because of its small size. Since then several Australian universities have become more vertically integrated by offering programs at vocational and secondary education levels, often as registered training organisations and often through wholly owned colleges, such as the Australian Catholic University, ANU, Charles Sturt University, Curtin University, Edith Cowan University, Monash University, University of Adelaide, University of Queensland, University of Technology, Sydney and the University of Wollongong. Interest in dual sector universities is also developing overseas. New Zealand’s Unitech and London’s Thames Valley University identify as dual sector universities and South Africa’s Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University describes itself in terms used by dual sector universities. This paper considers whether vocational education in a dual sector institution is an anomaly or an augury of future developments. It posits a definition of dual sector universities that distinguishes them from predominantly single sector institutions that offer a modest proportion of load in the other sector and from dual sector educational institutions that are not universities. The paper describes the emergence of dual sector provision: initially in Victoria from the bottom up, more recently in Australia from the top down, and by amalgamation overseas. It considers why dual sector universities emerged in Victoria but not in New South Wales where institutions with otherwise similar histories developed as single sector universities. The paper concludes by considering the potential for the development of new dual sector universities in Australia.

  • Absence and Presence: a Historiography of Early Women Architects in New South Wales
    ABSENCE AND PRESENCE: A HISTORIOGRAPHY OF EARLY WOMEN ARCHITECTS IN NEW SOUTH WALES Bronwyn J. Hanna Faculty of the Built Environment University of New South Wales 1999 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT Women architects are effectively absent from architectural history in Australia. Consulting first the archival record, this thesis establishes the presence of 230 women architects qualified and/or practising in NSW between 1900 and 1960. It then analyses some of these early women architects’ achievements and difficulties in the profession, drawing on interviews with 70 practitioners or their friends and family. Finally it offers brief biographical accounts of eight leading early women architects, arguing that their achievements deserve more widespread historical attention in an adjusted canon of architectural merit. There are also 152 illustrations evidencing their design contributions. Thus the research draws on quantitative, qualitative, biographical and visual modes of representation in establishing a historical presence for these early women architects. The thesis forms part of the widespread political project of feminist historical recovery of women forebears, while also interrogating the ends and means of such historiography. The various threads describing women’s absence and presence in the architectural profession are woven together throughout the thesis using three feminist approaches which sometimes harmonise and sometimes debate with each other. Described as “liberal
