Birth Date 1938 Education Primary: Albury Infant School (1940s) Primary: Albury Boys Public School (1940s) Primary: Albury Grammar School, Grades 5 and 6 (1940s) Secondary: Albury Grammar School (1940s–1950s) Tertiary: Melbourne Technical College Occupation Chemical Engineer Anglican Chaplain/Minister Biographical Text Stuart was born in St Kilda East in Melbourne in 1938 and his family moved to Albury in the north of Victoria when he was three. He completed his primary and secondary schooling in Albury, first attending Albury Boys Public School and then going on to Albury Grammar School from grade 5. He remembers that opportunities for students to serve the school and build understandings of citizenship were particularly prominent. He was involved in the cadets and was a Vice House Captain. He partook in regular morning assemblies and at the end of the year the school community came together and did maintenance ‘around the ground, painting the windows, frames and all this sort of stuff’, through which, he notes, ‘you learnt a bit and you enjoyed it’. When reflecting on the values inherent in his education, Stuart expresses gratitude for ‘the privilege of all that was offered to me by the school, its ethos, and which I didn’t fully realise until thrown into life of my own and had a bit more maturity’. Stuart completed the Leaving Certificate and then moved to Melbourne, where he had a job at Melbourne Technical College and studied chemical engineering part time. When he turned eighteen Stuart had to undertake national service training and he regards his earlier cadet education as proving important background. He then worked in the area of gas and fuel for a time before his career took quite a turn and he trained to be an Anglican minister, working up until retirement as a chaplain in Melbourne and Geelong.

Birth Date 1939 Education Primary: Donald Higher Elementary School, Victoria (mid-1940s–c1954) Secondary (Form 5): St Arnaud High School, Victoria (c1954) Secondary (Form 6): Warracknabeal High School, Victoria Form 6 (c1955) Tertiary: RMIT, Melbourne, Victoria (c1956–?) Occupation Chemical Engineer Biographical Text Don* was born in Donald in country Victoria, and attended Donald Higher Elementary School until the end of Form 4, recalling that it was common for country schools to have a combined primary and lower secondary school. The large class sizes and composite arrangements are memories that stand out for 'Don', along with the limited resources, meaning that ‘the smaller ones sat three to a desk’. He remembers his Grade 5 and 6 teacher, the first male teacher he had had, being ‘a good teacher, you enjoyed learning’. He also recalls the impact of his science teacher on his love of the subject, recounting the extra efforts this teacher went to to engage and inspire his students: ‘he had a telescope and he took the class out one night to watch’. After Form 4, 'Don' caught the bus to St Arnaud for Form 5, and then boarded with a local family from Monday to Friday in Warracknabeal for Form 6. He remembers that his family were very supportive of him gaining a good education and it was never questioned that he would go on to tertiary studies. At the age of 17 he moved to Melbourne and boarded with a family while he studied Chemical Engineering at RMIT, which was the only tertiary institution at the time to offer a course in this field. 'Don' worked as a chemical engineer in Melbourne before retiring to country Victoria. *Pseudonym Birthplace Victoria Image credits Main Street, Donald Victoria, c1935.
