The College community has been inspired by our richly varied Visiting Scholars, including two Nobel Laureates in medicine, two of Australia's finest leaders and soldiers, researchers in zoology, philanthropy, neurology and constitutional law and internationally renowned experts in ecumenism, church architecture and hymn writing. A strong tutorial program running over 80 tutorials a week and proactive academic and pastoral mentoring, enjoyed by more and more students, has resulted in better academic results than have been seen for some years. Our reputation grows and the College expects, once again, a high demand for places next year from students from every Australian state and territory and from overseas. To complement this, 1999-2000 TCAC from left, Annabel Reid there is a growing interest from Indoor Representative Caroline Ray Secretary, old members of the College to help Tom Woolley Treasurer, Chris Fernie Men's with the establishment of Sport, Tressie Norton Women's Sport, Chris scholarships to help other deserving Watkins Senior Student and Caroline Adler but disadvantaged students enjoy General Representative with the Warden, what Trinity offered them.

  • Chapter 1: Junior Technical Schools 13 History of Shepparton 29 History of State Secondary Education in Shepparton 33 Technical Education in Shepparton 35
    1 Second Rate? Reflections on South Tech and secondary technical education 1960-90 Lesley Florence Preston Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2005 Department of Education Policy and Management Faculty of Education The University of Melbourne i Abstract A personal conviction that Victorian secondary technical education was not necessarily ‘second rate’ prompted this study - the history of Shepparton South Technical School. This thesis examines the evolution of a secondary technical school until its demise under the 1982–89 State Labor Government. The technical schools were under threat from their inception following the 1910 Education Act. The first Chief Inspector of Technical Instruction, Donald Clark, warned that their executive school councils and their links with the senior technical colleges were bulwarks against their extinction. Clark argued that there was a need for strong leadership and vigilance if they were to retain their distinctive philosophy. The wording of the 1910 Education Act did not specify the development of a dual system. Yet the tech schools flourished because they were popular with boys and parents, because of their executive Councils, and because of their relationship with industry. The junior techs evolved into secondary techs during the 1950s and 60s, staffed by teachers with industrial experience who were qualified to teach apprentices, as well as the junior students. A Board of Inspectors of Technical Schools travelled throughout Victoria to disseminate information and mentor technical school staff. DTE Ted Jackson’s 1970 policy gave principals unprecedented autonomy to respond to the needs of young people within their local community.
