THE COLLEGE MOTTO

Here is an account of the origin of the motto given in the 1950 College Year Book :

"During November, 1949, after I had 1 receive.d official

notice of my appointment as Principal of' Geelong Teachers' College, I received a letter of congr(f,tulations and good wishes from a fellow applicant, itr. A. B. Jones, Headmaster of Colac- High School. Mr. Jones had been on the staff of the B.allarat T,.C. iri the late 1920's and over the intervening year[} ha~ ret.ained his interest in tea<:hers' college w-Ork~- He l:vrote that he had often gi{Jen sp1'(te thought to the .pos~ibility of having a college of his own and the type of badge and motto he would have liked for such a college. 'From Possibility to Reality,' i.e. 'A Posse Ad Esse,' seemed to him so much a symbol of what work with students embodied. I passed his letter on to the S.R.C. They were much taken with its obvious sin­cerity and interest in their training and its objectives, and decided at the first meeting of the S.R.C. to adopt this expression as the College motto."

-(L(. Whiteoak)

The original S.R.C. chose burgundy, gold, turquoise and white for College colours, and as a College emblem it decided upon a shield inset with a seagull and waves motif, designed by staff member, Mr. R. T. Crosthwaite.

We salute you, Teachers' College, Symbol of a lofty creed;

Love of truth, respect for knowledge, Care for childhood's faith and need.

Take our youthful consecrations, Take our talents yet untried,

Weld them into consummations Worthy of your name and pride.

We salute you, student fellows, Friends and colleagues here today;

Time may dim, yet ever hallows Memories of our work and play;

Leaders in the world's tomorrows, Members of a glorious throng,

Friendships firmed in joys and sorrows, Forging links 'gainst hate and wrong.

May the years that lie before us Be replete with joy and worth,

And our voices lead the chorus, Peace, goodwill to all on earth.

Life confirms your message, College, He who serves and gives is blest;

Soul and spirit transcend knowledge, Who loveth much, he liveth best.

FOREWORD

It is, indeed, a great pleasure to welcome those about to enter our College. I congratulate you on your selection, and assure you that the College and the schools in which you will engage in teaching prac­tice are friendly places. You may be proud of the step you have taken. By your entry to the College you have become one of a group of men and women motivated in their daily work by the highest standards of personal and social living.

Teaching is one of the most important social services in the community. Early in your course you will learn that fostering scholarly achievement is only one educational goal. Of great concern is the creation of those conditions that promote maximum learning and growth in the whole child by his own personal involvement, and the development and preservation of all that is necessary for successful community living. That is why teaching can be an exhilarating vocation. So, if you are the kind of person who should be a teacher, you cannot fail to experience in the process many personal satisfactions, and an expansion of your own personality.

Preparation for any lifetime career is a very serious business. Few young people today can afford to re-live wasted time and effort in the initial stages of preparation. Perhaps this is the most import­ant warning I must convey to you. The price of success is constant application to your basic training. So far as your continued educa­tion and the acquisition of teaching techniques are concerned, the courses have been planned to help meet your present and future needs. There are, however, other important challenges at the College which will contribute much to personal growth and maturity, particularly within those areas calling for individual initiative, a widened sense of responsibility, a keener social conscience, and a respect for the abilities and the rights of others. You will have ample opportunities to learn that there are no superiorities save of merit, service, and achievement. Thus your College has a two-fold mission-the emer­gence of a well-informed and skilful young teacher, and of a well­adjusted personality. In helping you to achieve these aims we shall try to guide you to new ways of thinking, feeling and doing. We expect you to play your part by showing interest, enthusiasm and co-operation.

Again I welcome you, and trust that your College years will bring joy and the satisfaction that comes with success in meeting new challenges.

S. G. McKASKILL, Acting Principal.

HISTORY OF GEELONG TEACHERS' COLLEGE

The establishment of a teachers' college in Geelong seems to have been discussed for the first time in 1945, but the re-opening of teachers' colleges in Bendigo 0945) and Ballarat 0946) temporarily delayed the project until 1948, during which year the Education Depart­ment launched an intensive drive to recruit more teachers, and a decision was made to seek trainees in the United Kingdom.

Teachers' colleges elsewhere in Victoria had reached their limits in student accommodation, and it had become an urgent matter to have a fourth college ready for the beginning of 1950.

Steps were taken to ascertain what properties were available and eventually it was decided to purchase historic "Lunan House," Drum­condra, and use it as a training centre. Two army huts for conversion to lecture rooms and offices were secured, and many stately homes in the district were inspected with an eye to their suitability for con­version to residential hostels. In this fashion "Hawthorne," "Warrain," "Ariston," "Forty-Five" and "Lauriston," were secured and the necessary structural alterations set in motion.

"Lunan House" was built in 1851 by James Ford Strachan, wool­broker, shipping merchant, and member of the new Victorian Legis­lative Council. The two-storey villa in Barrabool Hills freestone was situated amid seventeen acres of parklands in which kangaroos, emus and pheasants roamed freely. The Melbourne road formed the western boundary, and the present Lunan Avenue was once the tree-lined driveway which directed carriages to the pillared portico. The area now fronting the College with its suburban homes and gardens was originally the Lunan polo field, and the iron fence on the cliffs over­looking Rippleside beach constituted the eastern border.

Strachan, who migrated from Montrose, Scotland, to Van Diemen's Land and subsequently arrived in Geelong in 1838 to extend his business as a merchant, was born at Strachan, a town bearing the family name on the river Dee, south of Aberdeen. Nearby was a place called Lauriston from which one of the College hostels derives its name, while further south on the coast was Lunan Bay, so closely resembling that part of Corio Bay to be seen from his land that the owner resolved to name his new home "Lunan."

After several changes of occupancy the estate was subdivided and offered at public auction in 1911 when seventy-one building lots were sold. The house with the small area of land surrounding it slowly fell into decay. In 1945 "Lunan" was sold for $4,000 and promptly converted into a block of seven fiats. Four years later it became the property of the Education Department, and in September of that year, the newly-appointed Principal, Mr. L. G. Whiteoak, senior lecturer in psychology at Melbourne Teachers' College, was given the task of converting this historic home into the headquarters of a modern teachers' college.

6

Appropriately, the first intake of trainee teachers was largely made up of English, Scotch and Irish ex-servicemen, the first contingent arriving in September 1949, aboard the "Cheshire" and the "Empire Brent." They were given a civic reception, lodged in "Forty-Five" and "Hawthorne" and allocated as temporary assistants to Geelong schools under the direction of the District Inspector (Mr. E. Gillard). During December and January, an additional group arrived, and "Lauriston" began to function as a hostel. The last group to come arrived early in February, 1950, on the "Georgie," and these went into "Ariston." Meanwhile, a College staff had been appointed, and feverish efforts were made to have at least one of the converted army huts ready for the opening of the new school year.

Thus, on the afternoon of Tuesday, 31st January, 1950, in what is now the Art Room, the Geelong Teachers' College was officially opened by the then Chief Inspector, Mr. G. A. Osborne, at its first assembly of staff and students. During the subsequent physical education session the staff met daily at "Warrain" to plan policies, courses and pro­grammes so that the academic year of lectures and teaching practice could commence on Monday, 13th February. For most of this first term College had as classrooms the present art room and an upstairs room in Lunan House. A steel structure known as a "Mussett" class­room served as the crafts room, and three downstairs rooms in the main building became the library and reading rooms. With the almost daily arrival of a generous allocation of supplies and equipment the situation eased somewhat so that by the end of the first term the College was well launched indeed. The student complement at this stage consisted of 71 overseas men, 14 Victorian men and 19 Victorian women.

Since the inaugural year of 1950, College life, in the academic sense at least, has undergone profound changes. The initial enrolment of 104 students with a staff of 9 lecturers had risen in 1961 to 350 students and 29 staff, and thus to 1968 when students totalled 528 with a staff of 45. Extensive additions and renovations to Lunan could not keep pace with the steadily mounting enrolment, and 1961 marked the open­ing of the new building at Vines Road, when the then Director of Education, Mr. A. McDonell, spoke at the first full College assembly in the new hall on 29th November.

Courses of study have altered radically from the general one-year T.P.T.C. in 1950 which was extended in the following year to a two­year period. The three-year T.I.T.C. course was commenced at G.T.C. in 1957. Prior to this date candidates for the certificate attended the College for first year only and were obliged to complete the remaining two years in specialized training at Melbourne Teachers' College. "Lunan" became the centre for these 2nd and 3rd year women students Can occupancy shared in 1966-7 with North Geelong High School while its own buildings in Thompson's Road were being completed). Now, with the discontinuance of the T.I.T.C. course, "Lunan's" future is again in doubt, and its passing will be mourned by many, not least that select group of girls who have enjoyed a certain aloofness befitting their more mature years.

In 1968 the first groups of students commenced the long-awaited three-year Diploma of Teaching course. This qualification will eventu­ally supplant the other courses which, however, will temporarily remain during the transitional period.

7

Despite these changes G.T.C. has many links with the past. It was the unusual achievement of Mr. Whiteoak to preside over the develop­ment of the College from its inception until his retirement in 1970. Six students from the first intake have returned as members of the present staff. The College "House," "Cheshire," bears the name of the ship that brought the first group of overseas students; another two, "Kentish" and "Kearney," pay tribute to original staff members, both in physical education, Miss G. Kentish and Mr. J. Kearney. The fourth is, of course, "Lunan." The annual student publication "Kardinia" appeared first as a quarterly in August 1950-("All rights reserved. All wrongs redressed. Spelling, punctuation and grammar original."), and the current periodical "Tatler" first appeared as "Lunancy Tatler," the brain-child of the Tri-sports Publication Committee in 1956.

College Year Books, housed in the library, record pictorially the life of the College from 1950 onwards. They bear witness to a passing era in teacher education when numbers were fewer and personal relation­ships closer, but within their pages are preserved the varied facets of College life as well as the enduring traditions of a College which con­tinues to fulfil its role in the increasingly demanding sphere of educa­tion.

COURSES OFFERED

TRAINED PRIMARY TEACHER'S CERTIFICATE (T.P.T.C.)

This is a two-year course designed to prepare students for teaching in State primary schools. It is open to students who hold the School Leaving Certificate of the University of Melbourne or an approved equivalent, and who are at least sixteen and a half years of age on entering College. In practice, students are seldom accepted without at least two matriculation subjects.

The subjects of the T.P.T.C. Course at Geelong are as follows: Education, English, Social Science, Mathematics, Science, Health and Physical Education, Music and Art; Teaching Practice and field observa­tion extending over nine weeks.

In the second year, students take Education and English plus three subjects for Special Studies chosen from the remaining areas listed above. Teaching practice in the training schools continues for a further 9-12 week period.

It is expected that the T.P.T.C. Course will not be conducted at Geelong T.C. after 1971.

DIPLOMA OF TEACHING (PRIMARY)

First-year students in 1968 were given the opportunity of under­taking the new three-year course of training. This course will eventu­ally supersede the existing T.P.T.C. course as facilities are adjusted to meet the increased numbers at College and the more advanced studies at a third-year level. All students selected so far have Matriculation or its equivalent.

Proposed course requirements are set out fully below.

THE COURSE FOR DIPLOMA OF TEACHING (PRIMARY)

(a) GENERAL

The Diploma course is one of three years' duration. It will involve two main aspects, viz. (i) Academic Studies, (ii) School Experience. Overall, it will include studies in every subject of the Primary School, and will involve a programme of single subjects, sub-majors (two years) and majors (three years).

The College timetable is based on a 35 period week with seven periods per day. Lecture periods commence on the hour, and run through the day from 9.00 a.m. to 4.50 p.m. Students will have a large amount of time for individual study. The College library is open non-stop daily from 9.00 a.m., through the lunch time, until 5.30 p.m.

11

With respect to their individual study, students should guard against an attitude that the first year of the course is of minor significance. Actually, no students will be permitted to proceed through the three course years without a satisfactory completion of each year.

Normally, permission to proceed to the next year will depend on a number of conditions bound up with regulations concerning failures, suspension or termination of studentships.

(b) THE STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE

The academic structure of the course will consist of 16 units over the three years.

A unit is a study in a subject area taken for one year. A major will consist of three units, a sub-major will consist of two units, and a single subject will be one unit of a subject area.

At Geelong, the total course over three years will comprise :-

(i) 3 majors-Education (compulsory) plus 2 elected subjects-total = 9 units;

(ii) 2 sub-majors (English compulsory)-total = 4 units; (iii) 3 single subjects (Maths. compulsory)-total = 3 units.

Education is the core subject of the total course. It is a compulsory major.

English is at least a compulsory sub-major, but may be elected for a third year to complete an English major.

All subject areas must be studied over the three years, whether as majors, sub-majors, or as single subjects.

Single subjects for one year will include the content of each subject, and a treatment of its place in the school curriculum.

Subject areas of the course are :-Education, English, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, Art, Music, Physical Education and Health.

Permission to choose a subject area for sub-major or/and major will depend upon the student's result in a previous examination in the subject concerned. Mere interest in the particular field will not be acceptable. This of course does not concern Education and English in the same way.

Sample Courses

In the first year students will take basic courses in the eight sub­ject fields. At the close of the year they will be required to select their courses for the second year. These will consist of Education, English, and any three of the remaining first year subjects. This will be the sub-major year. At the close of the second year students will select three subjects from the sub-major year group to complete their three majors. These will consist of Education plus any two of the remaining four they took in the previous year.

The Regulations for the Diploma course provide also for :-

(i) Special attention to the study of child development, and instruc­tion in the bases of language arts and mathematics.

(ii) A special study, within the subject Education, or other approved subject, during the third year, of the particular needs, develop­ment and teaching of pupils in the junior primary school OR the senior primary school-such study to be selected by each student according to interest and aptitude.

13

(c) SCHOOL EXPERIENCE

The Regulation specifies that each student will have approved school experience, including teaching practice for between 100 and 120 days over the three years.

Provision will be made for experience in the three departments of the primary school, as well as in rural schools.

During the first and second years of the course the school experience of students will be assessed as "Satisfactory" or "Unsatisfactory." In the third year school experience will be assessed.

Teaching practice in each year will be integrated with a general programme of instruction and guidance in technique and skills of teach­ing called Procedures and Practice of Teaching.

Teaching procedures appropriate to the content and skills of a particular subject area will be the responsibility of the College Faculty concerned.

EXAMINATIONS AND ASSESSMENTS

Students will be assessed in each subject of the course. In most subjects, assessment involves progressive tests, assignments, and exercises of various types.

"Supplementary" Examinations. These will be confined to tests (oral or written) of a confirmatory nature, given as far as circumstances allow before the publication of results.

Failure, in itself does not automatically give the right to present for supplementary examinations. Admission to such examinations will be granted to students who fail by a small margin, on the recommenda­tion of the Head of the subject concerned, after consultation with the Principal.

Absence from Examinations. Deferred examinations may be grant­ed in cases where tests or examinations have been missed through ill­ness, or for any other cause which in the judgement of the Principal justified the absence. Documentary evidence (e.g. medical certificate) will be required for admission to such examinations. Absence from tests that is not supported by such evidence will involve forfeiture of marks. (See also "Attendance Requirements"). Failure to submit assignments by due dates will also entail loss of marks, unless an ex­tension of time has been granted for some good reason.

Attendance Requirements. All lectures, tutorials, practical and remedial sessions, and school experience rounds, are regarded as pres­cribed work at which attendance is required. Teachers' College Courses are participation courses, and adequate participation demands regular attendance. Non-attendance, even for medical reasons, may bring a ruling by the Principal that the student has not completed a satisfac­tory course and is not entitled to be assessed in the subjects concerned. In other words, insufficient attendance will result in automatic failure and, in serious cases, suspension or termination of a studentship. An attendance of 90 per cent. is expected, and attendance that falls short of this figure is not fully satisfactory.

14

Compensatory Pass. A student who arrives at the end of his course with satisfactory results in all subjects except one may be granted a compensatory pass by the Principal, provided that the failure is by a small margin. Compensatory passes are not given for subjects failed in third year.

PROGRESS THROUGH THE COURSE

Progress in any one subject from one year to the next shall be at the discretion of the Principal, after consultation with the Head of the subject department in question, and will be determined by pro­gressive assignments and annual examinations in the subject studied.

A student (after the results of supplementary examinations have been taken into account) will be permitted to repeat no more than one failed subject, in addition to the normal requirements for the respective year concerned :-

e.g. (a) If a student fails in one subject in the first or second year of the course, he may continue on course and repeat one sub­ject in the following year unless the Principal recommends termination of the studentship.

(b) If a student fails in two subjects in the first year, he may carry one subject in each subsequent year, providing the course may be arranged suitably. Providing no further failures occur he will be in a position to graduate at the close of the course.

(c) If a student fails in three or more subjects in the first year, he cannot complete the course in minimum time, and must seek suspension or termination of the course. Suspension could mean finding employment and attending lectures at the Col­lege, or some lengthening of the course to pick up deferred sub­jects. In special cases an alternative could be to repeat one subject in each of the second and third years, and knowing that he cannot graduate defer the third subject until after com­pletion of the course.

(d) If a student fails in two or more subjects at the end of the second year of the course he cannot complete the course in minimum time and must seek suspension or termination of the course. In special cases an alternative such as stated in (c) might be possible.

EDUCATION

INTRODUCTION

Courses in Education are studied by all students, viz. : Diploma of Teaching (Primary) Trained Primary Teacher's Certificate

Education embodies a number of disciplines-psychology, sociology, philosophy as well as historical and comparative studies.

These studies provide the professional background of knowledge essential to the teacher.

Included also are the necessary technical areas aimed at the devel­opment of teaching skills and an understanding of school and classroom organization. Within the Diploma course these areas will be directly related to teaching experience under the title of Procedures and Practice of Teaching.

In the other courses these practical areas will be given due attention in general and special methods.

Education is considered a major College study and some areas are compulsory within each of the above courses.

DIPLOMA OF TEACHING (PRIMARY) YEAR 1

In the first year there are three compulsory units. One lecture per week will be taken in each unit.

Details of courses : Psychology

"The child as an individual" provides the theme for the first year of the Diploma course. The growth of the individual personality is considered against the background of the society in which the child lives, the school to which he goes, and the influence of the family particularly through his maternal relationships. While an eclectic approach will be adopted for most of the course, the work will be reviewed through discussion of the position of a particular theorist.

Education in Victoria This is a study of education in Victoria, its aims, its educational

institutions, its teachers and its administrat\on. It also embraces a study of the non-government schools and their historical development.

Current problems in Victorian education will be discussed.

Procedures and Practice of Teaching Throughout the three years of the course, a close correlation is

maintained in this area between lecturers and discussion in the Col­lege, and experience in the schools.

One lecture per week. Students are introduced to the basic techniques and skills of teach­

ing and classroom management. All students are offered a course in audio-visual aids and their use in the classroom.

17

YEAR 2 (Diploma course)

Section A-Psychology Section B-Comparative Education

Philosophy of Education section A is compulsory. Students must select one unit from section

B to be studied as a sub-major course in both the second and third years.

The additional unit in Education will be Procedures and Practice of Teaching <See below). Two lectures per week will be taken in this area.

Details of courses : Section A Psychology

A study of the social, emotional and mental development of the school child to the stage of adolescence.

In relation to this topic students are required to submit a study of a school child based upon observations and measurement of the child's abilities.

The second topic is a treatment of adjustment and personality leading to a consideration of the adjustment of the child in the class­room.

Section B Comparative Education

A study of the education systems of (a) the United States of America; (b) the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; and (c) England and Wales. During the study a comparison to be made of such aspects as the administration and financing of education, the political and philosophical beliefs upon which each country's education is based, the school structure, and the training of teachers. The historical de­velopment of education in the three countries will also be briefly con­sidered.

Philosophy of Education Education philosophy involves a study of societies, their educational

aims and objectives. Using an historical approach emphasis will be given to the contributions of great educators from early to modern times.

Procedures and Practice of Teaching : Two lectures per week. One lecture period is given to further discussion of the techniques

and skills of teaching and classroom management. Emphasis is placed on modern method in the classroom.

The other lecture is devoted to a basic course in method in the Junior Grades (Prep.-1-2-3). This course is presented with the lan­guage arts as a unifying core.

YEAR 3 (Diploma course)

Section A-Psychology-one lecture per week.

Section B-Comparative Education 1 two lectures per week. Philosophy of Education )

18

Section A is compulsory. Students must select one unit from section B. The unit selected

in Section B will be a continuation of the study commenced in Year 2.

Details of courses :

Section A

Psychology Learning is the principal topic of study. Following a coverage of theories of learning, students will be involved in various experiments aimed at relating theory and practice. student teams will be required to organize and conduct these sessions. If possible some learning experiments may be conducted in the schools under the guidance of College staff and teachers. Attention will be given to the problems experienced by slow learners and handicapped children.

Section B

Comparative Education i. Education in (a) Japan; and (b) the People's Republic of China,

with close attention paid to both the development of East Asian traditions in education and the present situation regarding education in the two countries.

ii. A study of newly emerging patterns of education in developing nations such as New Guinea, Nigeria and Ghana, and India. A study of the contributions to such development which economically­advanced nations are making.

Philosophy of Education Philosophic systems and education : A brief study of some of the

basic concepts of idealism, realism, perennialism and pragmatism as they have influenced systems of education. Traditional and progressive education and present day trends.

The significance of John Dewey. The philosophic foundations of the curriculum.

Procedures and Practice of Teaching Two lectures per week. Students elect to specialise in studies of techniques and organisa­

tion in the Junior Grades (Prep.-1-2-3), or in the Senior Grades (3-4-5-6).

Junior Grades specialisation is an enrichment of the basic course taken in the second year. The language arts approach is maintained and all faculties of the College participate in lectures and discussions.

Senior Grades specialisation consists of four units : School Organisation Remedial Teaching Curriculum Construction Evaluation in the Primary School

School Organisation is a compulsory unit; students select two out of the three remaining units. Each unit entails some practical work which is done during periods of School Experience.

TEACHING PRACTICE

The scheme of work, supplied early in the year, shows weeks which students will spend in schools, observing and gaining teaching experi­ence.

It should be remembered always that students are guests of the school for that period. Class teachers welcome questions about class management and procedures. In turn they appreciate the student's help during the period of attendance.

If, for any reason, a student cannot get to a school on time, or if he will be absent, it is his responsibility to ring the school as early as possible.

Hereunder are the names and telephone numbers of schools which provide teaching practice for students :

Rules governing the use of the Library and its facilities are on display in the Central Library and must be read carefully by each student, as their observance is obligatory.

3. Students who experience any difficulty in locating material should immediately ask the duty librarian for assistance.

4. Faculty Libraries. Each faculty has a small specialised collection under its own control. These are independent of the College Library, and rules governing the use of the material in them should be obtained from the faculty concerned.

5. Geelong Regional Library. All College students are permitted to join this library without charge on completion of application forms which may be obtained from the Central Library. Students are urged to take advantage of this service which makes available a supplementary source of material on College courses, as well as an excellent general collection.

37

EDUCATIONAL AIDS This department is divided into two sections. It is planned that

all students will receive training in the use of tape recorders, 35 m.m. projectors, 16 m.m. projectors, overhead projectors and record players. This equipment is available for overnight borrowing during teaching rounds.

The other section under the control of this department is the Aids Room where you will find reference books, pictures, charts, maps, film­strips, slides, magazines and other material relevant to teaching rounds. All students will be issued with borrowing cards and material may be borrowed for a period of two days.

Hours of borrowing : 8.45 a.m. to 5 p.m. during teaching rounds. ~

Remember, failure to return material on time results in loss of borrowing rights.

ART COLLECTION

The College is justly proud of the art collection which confronts students with original works by recognized artists. The collection in­cludes oil paintings, water-colours, etchings, lithographs, lino-cut and wood-cut prints, pottery and sculpture. It was commenced in 1951 with the acquisition of a small water-colour painting entitled "Ballarat" by Arnold Shore, and has since been extended as finance has permitted.

During 1969 and 1970 acquisitions included works by Lawrence Daws, Robert Grieve, Bernhard Rust, Hans Heysen, Alun Leach-Jones and George Johnson.

DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE

All teachers-in-training are entitled to communicate with the Edu­cation Department on matters which concern their service as teachers. Teachers-in-training should first seek advice from College lecturers or the Principal.

Students should note that communications with the Education Department concerning salaries, qualifications, or any other matter, should be made by letter written on oflicial correspondence paper. Such letters should be forwarded through the Principal. Letters sent directly to the Education Department without the Principal's endorsement will be returned to the College, and the subject matter given no considera­tion until the correct forwarding procedure has been adopted.

ASSEMBLY Conducted by the Principal each Wednesday, the formal assembly

of all College students is an important feature of the corporate life of the College. The programme consists of College songs, staff and student notices, and an address by the Principal. Guest speakers and guest artists attend College assemblies during the year.

38

GRADUATION CEREMONY

Each year a Graduation Ceremony is conducted aJ.ong the lines of that of a university. Each graduate is presented with the appropriate Certificate or Diploma after which an Address is given by an eminent visitor. Parents of graduates receive an invitation both to the cere­mony and to an informal luncheon afterwards. Eligible students wear the formal College graduation gowns which are hired each year at moderate cost.

THE NEVILLE SEWARD AWARD

The most honoured and highly coveted prize at Geelong Teachers' College is the Neville Seward Award, which is a memorial to the late Neville Seward who died on January 25th, 1954, after having been Head Teacher of Wallinduc State School from the time he left G.T.C. in 1952 until the commencement of his illness in October, 1953.

Through the gracious generosity and thoughtfulness of Neville's parents, Mrs. Sarah May Seward and the late Mr. John Seward, a sum of money has now been placed in trust with the income to be applied in perpetuity towards the award.

It was decided with the agreement of the donors to identify the award with the ideal of service to one's fellow students-their welfare, their institutions and their organizations within the student com­munity-this being a marked feature of Neville's attitude to, and par­ticipation in student life and activities during his course.

The award is made at the Final Assembly of each College year to that man or woman student nominated to the Principal by the Students' Representative Council as being most worthy of the designa­tion:

"Outstanding and unselfish service to his (or her) fellows within the corporate life and activities of the student community."

LEAVE AND ABSENCE

1. Each student should attend every session of the College as required by his timetable, and every session of the school to which he is attached for school experience. A student may not absent himself from normal College activities except by permission of the Principal.

If you are unable to report for duty at any time, you should fol­low these instructions :

(a) Notify College or the school as soon as possible after you know you will be absent.

(bl On your return to College, if you have a medical certificate or special leave, fill in an ABSENCE EXPLANATION SLIP which will be found in a box in front of the General Office.

(c) On your return to school inform the school Principal of your return to duty. If you have a medical certificate or special leave fill in an ABSENCE EXPLANATION SLIP when you return to College. (Principals of schools include in their re­ports a record of student absences).

2. Attendance at Lectures. College courses are participation courses, and regular attendance is required. Any student whose attendance at lectures in any subject falls below a satisfactory level forfeits the right to be assessed in the subjects concerned. A medical certificate will not necessarily gain exemption from this rule. See "Examinations and Assessment-Attendance Requirements."

3. Group Meetings. Assemblies and group meetings are essential for communication between students and Administration, and among stu­dents. Attendance at these meetings is required of all students.

4. Conditions Applying to Absences.

Absences on account of illness.

Leave is normally granted, with pay, provided that : (a) You have a sufficient reserve of sick leave credits. Each student

is credited with twelve days sick leave each year. Absences are subtracted from these credits. As sick leave is cumulative it is wise to avoid being absent for trivial reasons.

(bl You produce a medical certificate : when you are absent for more than three consecutive days; when you have been absent previously during the year for a total of five days without medical certificates. when any absence immediately precedes or follows a school vacation.

Notes (i) A medical certificate is not required for an absence of three

days or less except in the circumstances described in (bl and (c) above.

(ii) Pay will normally be deducted for any absences on account of illness which are not covered by the conditions set out in (a) and (b) above.

42

(iii) Pay is usually deducted for absences on account of normal dental appointments. Students are expected to arrange these outside College hours. Severe dental trouble will be regarded as "illness" for which leave with pay will be granted only if a statement from the dentist is provided to certify that you were unfit for duty until you had received urgent dental treatment.

(iv) Leave with pay and without loss of sick leave credits may be granted on account of certain illnesses which may be attributed to "occupational infection." A medical certificate must be produced in all such cases, and an application made for special leave on the yellow form LE 358.

For each of these illnesses a maximum period is listed in the regulations :

Influenza, German Measles, Chicken Pox . . . . one week Mumps, Measles . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . two weeks Scarlet Fever, Whooping Cough . . . . . . . . . . two weeks

(further leave to be approved by the School Medical Officer)

Typhoid, Diphtheria, Meningitis . . as approved by S.M.O. Hepatitis, Poliomyelitis, Pulmonary Tuberculosis

as approved by the S.M.O. (maximum leave-six months on full pay

and six months on half pay)

In cases of Typhoid, Diphtheria, Meningitis and Hepatitis, applications for special leave will be considered only if the Principal certifies that there have been cases in the school.

(V) Students who have been absent owing to illness for any continuous period in excess of thirteen weeks may be examined by the S.M.O. before they resume duty.

B. Absences on account of family illness or bereavement

Leave with pay may be granted at the discretion of the Minister for the death or serious illness of a close relative (father, mother, sister, brother, wife, son or daughter). In such cases of serious illness a medical certificate should be submitted with your applica­tion for leave.

Leave with pay, if granted for these reasons, is normally limited to a maximum of two days, but in special circumstances may be granted for a longer period.

C. Special Leave

Special leave of short duration may be granted at the discretion of the Principal, usually in connection with extra-curricular student occasions. Students are reminded that in such cases leave must be sought in advance and that the appropriate lecturers should be informed.

43

MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS AND SUPERANNUATION

Each student is normally required to undergo two medical examina­tions during his College course. These are arranged by the School Medical Officer, and the student is notified of the time and place of his appointment.

The first medical examination and X-ray test take place during the first few weeks of the course. These determine the student's medical suitability for the work of teaching. When remedial weaknesses are revealed (for example, the need for optical or dental treatment), the student is required to undertake such treatment without delay.

The second medical examination and X-ray test are held towards the end of the course. These chiefly determine the graduate's eligibility to take full part in the State Superannuation Scheme. This is a form of compulsory insurance for all permanent officers of State Government Departments. The teacher, having completed his course, contributes regularly to the Superannuation Fund. Then, upon reaching the retir­ing age, he receives a proportionate pension. Should he be compelled at any stage in his teaching career to retire on account of ill-health, his pension becomes payable.

There are two classes of contributors to the Superannuation Fund­"full" contributors and "limited" contributors. A teacher who, for medical reasons, is classed as a limited contributor must accept the provision that retirement on account of ill-health does not entitle him to a full pension. If he has been a contributor for less than four years, he receives a lump sum equivalent to 3~ times the amount paid in. If he has contributed for four years or more, he is entitled to five-eighths of a full pension.

A married woman cannot contribute to the State Superannuation Fund while she is married. If she has been appointed to the permanent staff she may contribute to the Married Women's Superannuation Fund.

A booklet explaining the principal provisions of the Superannuation Acts is issued from time to time by the Superannuation Board. Stu­dents should consult this booklet for details of this scheme.

WORKERS' COMPENSATION

All students are covered by the Workers' Compensation Act against accident or injury whilst on duty at the College, or going to or from their home to College. The Act provides for the payment of ambulance, hospital, medical, nursing and chemists' costs, and for specific amounts for death, loss of limbs, etc.

As soon as possible after receiving an injury a student should report to the member of staff responsible for Workers' Compensation claims, Mr. R. MacLeod. As it is essential that a doctor's certificate, Form "B", accompany the claim for compensation, the student is ad­vised to ask for this at the first visit to the doctor, and to bring it when he comes to make a claim.

44

If he is absent because of injury he should state on the "Report of Absence" form that Workers' Compensation is being claimed and the appropriate forms will be forwarded.

Claimant must not pay accounts, but bring these to the College from where they will be forwarded to the Education Department.

A teacher allowed leave and covered by Workers' Compensation is granted leave with pay. This leave is not a debit on his sick leave credits.

THE STUDENTS' REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL

Elected by the students, this organization makes the student body self-governing in many spheres. Council membership is considered an honour to be highly-esteemed. All student organizations are dependent upon the council for charter and finance and are therefore under its control.

Proposals concerning student activities are referred through group representatives to the council which, following discussion with repres­entation from the Principal and Staff, takes the necessary action. Thus it facilitates co-operation between students and staff, provides an effective outlet for student opinion, controls many administrative powers, and preserves and develops the unity of the College.

The S.R.C. functions within the framework of the following con­stitution:

SPORT

Attendance at sport on Wednesday afternoons is compulsory for first year students. Second and third year students will participate on a voluntary basis. With outside coaches being employed to take some groups, it is reasonable to expect that second and third yearers taking sport for a term should attend regularly.

A wide range of competitive and non-competitive sports is available. Students are given the opportunity to select a sport on a term basis. When attendance rolls are finalised, students are expected to remain at the respective venues for the full term.

In addition there are opportunities to participate in inter-college swimming, athletics and major games competitions. A number of Col­lege teams also participate in Geelong and district competitions.

SOCIAL COMMITIEE

The Social Committee is made up of the following members :

SOCIAL SECRETARY The Social Secretary is elected by the students of the same year

in the final assembly-prior to his/her year of office. The Secretary shall organize his Committee in line with the facts

laid down by the Constitution. In the first meeting of the year a Chairman is elected by the Committee. A Scribe is also elected to record the minutes of all meetings.

STAFF REPRESENTATIVES The Principal of the College shall appoint two Staff Reps. (male

and female). Their position on the Committee is to advise and guide the Committee. All records of functions and minutes of meetings should be given to the Staff Reps., who in turn report such matters to the Principal. The Social Secretary shall report to the Principal regularly to indicate the progress of the Committee.

COMMITTEE MEMBERS Each half-group in College shall appoint one Social Committee

Rep. in the second week of College. It is up to each member to report back to their groups on the activities of the Committee. The Committee is also responsible to organize all College Balls and Dances. Certain C1ommittee Members are delegated jobs for the year . . .

Press Reporters. Two members are instructed to write Press Reports for College Balls and certain dances. These should be handed to the Staff Reps. two days before the function. Catering. Four female members shall decide on the Menu for each Ball, and present it to the Committee for consideration. Decorations. Six members are appointed to discuss and plan decore for functions and present them to the committee. Other members are appointed to look for suitable venues for func­tions. A Ticket Secretary is appointed to arrange the design of the Ball ticket, the arrangement for distributing Tickets and the sending of Special Invitations.

52

Meetings: Meetings shall be held every two weeks. The most practical time

is on every second Thursday at 5.00 p.m. (Pay night). The meeting shall be orderly at all times, and any suggestions should go through the Chairman. At the end of each meeting the Staff Reps. are given the opportunity to report.

Activities : It is the job of Committee to organize the Welcome Ball, the Pres­

entation Ball and the Graduation Ball. The Committee shall determine the dates for these in the first meeting of the year. The Committee shall organize all College dances and any other Social function, e.g. Car Trials, Song Nights and Barbeques.

PUBLICATIONS Publications committee members are students elected from those

who are interested in writing and collecting articles for "Tatler," which is published periodically, and for the annual magazine "Kardinia." A contributions box is placed in the common room and students are urged to submit articles, letters, poems, stories, sketches, or any other material of interest.

Year Books In the main library are stored College Year Books dating back to

the foundation of G.T.C. in 1950. These comprise a complete pictorial record of College life over the years.

DRAMA The College dramatic productions are presented under the auspices

of the Concert and Dramatic Committee, which is a student-elected body augmented by two members of staff acting as the Principal's representatives.

Early in the College year this committee presents a "Welcome Concert" which, as well as being student devised and produced, gives those students interested a chance to display their musical talents and dramatic abilities. In the latter half of the year public performances of a major production are given. These plays are as diversified as "East Lynne" and "The Boy Friend," as "Charley's Aunt" and "Rebecca," or the production may be a full-scale musical in the genre of "Brigadoon" which was produced as the major dramatic offering for 1970.

In the third term of last year, an additional area of dramatic pres­entation was explored when the pantomime "Dick Whittington" was presented for a total of seven performances, with children from train­ing schools comprising the majority of the audience.

In addition, during the year, two special days are observed, namely, Shakespeare Day in April and Australian Literature Day in June. It has been the custom for at least one dramatic excerpt to form part of each day's celebration and, although the day's programme is admin­istered by the English Faculty, the casts for the excerpts are composed entirely of students.

53

But the production of every play is a co-operative effort and the back-stage workers form an essential part of each undertaking. Sets must be planned and constructed, lighting plots devised and operated, costumes designed and made, and properties borrowed-and returned ! So there are many opportunities available to those students who wish to participate in continuing the already firmly-established dramatic tradition of the College.

VICTORIAN TEACHERS' UNION

A students' branch of the V.T.U. is formed at the College, the annual subscription being 20c.

DEBATING For those interested in public speaking and the logical presentation

of reasoned viewpoints, the College has, in the past, been well repres­ented by teams in the Geelong debating competitions. Several grades are available, but much will depend upon student support.

TEACHERS' COLLEGE FELLOWSHIP

There is a T.C.C.F. group in all Victorian primary teachers' colleges. Each group is completely autonomous and inter-denominational. Through a programme of public meetings-often with guest speakers, Bible studies, hikes, houseparties, films, prayer meetings and other activities, the T.C.C.F. aims to provide activities in which Christians can meet together for fellowship and gain the opportunity for present­ing the Christian message to college students.

COLLEGE PHOTOGRAPHS

An official College photographer is appointed each year whose task it is to record the academic, social, and sporting highlights of the year. These pictures find their way into the College publications and ultimately, the Year Book.

As a service to students, copies of all prints taken can be bought at reasonable rates. Prints are displayed on the common-room notice­board where the ordering procedure is also explained.

INFORMATION FOR INCOMING STUDENTS

DRESS

Teaching is a profession with public prestige, and young teachers in training are required to maintain professional standards in clothing and general appearance.

During school experience rounds, reasonably conservative dress styles are expected. Men should wear suits, or sports coats with well­pressed trousers, and shirts with collar and tie. Women students will realise that a good standard of dress is expected of women teachers.

54

At College, considerable freedom of dress is approved. For example, in hot weather, shorts with socks, open-necked sports shirt and ap­propriate footwear, are suitable for men. Slack suits are preferred by many women students in the cold months.

It should be remembered, however, that lectures and official func­tions such as assemblies are situations where complete informality is not appropriate; consequently, students are asked not to wear the very casual types of dress such as jeans, stretch slacks and thongs.

Irrespective of details, three qualities are expected-cleanliness, neatness and the general good taste that goes with commonsense.

COLLEGE CHARGES

Certain compulsory official fees are payable to the Students' Rep­resentative Council and to the College. From these the S.R.C. organ­izes, through its five chartered committees (Men's Sport, Women's Sport, Social, Concert & Dramatic, Publications) the year's programme of extra-curricular activities. The College also provides a wide variety of services associated with the courses : Faculty Subject Libraries, multiple copies of text-books, Audio-visual aids, equipment, reference books and materials, tutorial and lecture notes, a science equipment lending service, and general student amenities.

First-year students must be prepared to meet these charges upon entry to College. Returning students must lodge their payments within the first month of the academic year. All payments must be made to the Registrar at the College Office.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Before normal lectures begin there will be an intensive swimming programme to improve students' personal swimming proficiency, and to familiarise them with modern methods and coaching used in teaching children to swim.

A College uniform is prescribed for activities and a list setting out prices and the stores from which this attire is available will be sent to all first-year students.

LOCKERS

On entrance to the College a locker will be allotted to each student. A 40c deposit is charged for the key; 20c of this will be refunded when the key is returned at the end of the student's College course.

It is essential for students to lock their lockers, thus ensuring a safe place for books and other personal belongings.

Loss of key should be reported immediately to the staff member in charge of lockers and a master key is available at the College office for emergencies. A new key will be issued at cost.
