A Whole New World: 100 Years of Education at the University High School by Carolyn Rasmussen

Book Description

Secondhand. Near fine condition.

University High School occupies a unique place in the Victorian State education system. Opened as a no-fee, co-educational secondary school in 1910, its primary role was to provide a practising school for trainee teachers. From the beginning, its students flourished in a purposeful environment that encouraged independence of thought and individuality, while nurturing significant academic achievement.

This centenary history builds on the UHS Jubilee history by Alice Hoy and draws extensively on 350 questionnaire responses from alumni, interviews, and other material from past pupils and teachers. It presents a vivid picture of the ‘new world’ that was and is UHS and its place in the lives of its students and the wider community. (publisher blurb)
