Larnook Ex-Students Association Events
Larnook Teachers College, Melbourne was established in 1952 to train teachers of home economics and textiles for secondary schools in the state of Victoria. The Larnook Ex-Students’ Association was formed in 1956 as a way of keeping new teachers in contact with each other for emotional and professional support. Nowadays, it is more a means of individuals keeping in contact with their year level colleagues.
The Executive consists of:
President, Coral Sundblom coralfish@ozemail.com.au
Secretary, Von Canty voncanty@iprimus.com.au
Treasurer, Judy Ryles jryles@maconline.com.au
Annual subscriptions are $15.00 (no GST) This entitles you to two bulletins each year representing information from years 1952-1982. Reunions are organised by year representatives and these dates will appear on this website. The Executive has recently completed a book on the history of Larnook from its beginning in 1952 until its closure in 1982.
Next Larnook Ex-Students Association Event
Details of the next event will be posted here when available.
