Telling tales about school: a look at early schooling in South Australia, highlighting a number of eastern suburbs schools, teachers, buildings and records

Presented by Alison Hicks

From earliest colonial days education was important to those settling in South Australia. Alison’s talk will explore the first school records available with the information they provide, and the development of government schooling. Included will be the fascinating personal stories that arise through further research. While the talk will highlight eastern suburb schools, it will also take a look at the interesting features of old schools Alison has found through her travels across the state.
