Introduction
This website grew out of a reunion of Balmain Teachers College students, mainly from the 1956-57 group with a few from 1957-58 who met over the weekend of 6-8 November 2015 at The Tops Conference Centre, at Stanwell Tops, south of Sydney. It consists, in part, of an account of that reunion, including the program, various addresses given and the activities engaged in. The website, however, is more than just the reunion. Most of the material gathered about the college, lecturers and students in the lead-up to the reunion, has been included so as to make the information available to those who attended, those who were unable to attend, and those who were from earlier or later intakes of students to the college. It is also a way of ensuring the information is not lost. There are biographies of some of the lecturers and brief notes on others; biography-obituaries of some of the students from the 1956-57 intake; details about the origin of the college anthem; and a large collection of photos from college days. Should you have additional information or photographs that may be useful for inclusion on the site, the editor would be delighted to hear from you at [email protected] |
