Leather Bound Limited Edition
Published by Honeysett Press
By Ronald S. Horan, languages teacher and master at Fort Street for over 35 years.
This exceptional book traces public education from the first tentative steps in 1848 to the present vast network of schooling. Fort Street, situated in Governor Macquarie's military hospital on Observatory Hill until 1975, was conceived as a model for all other schools.
For over half a century all teachers received their training at the school on the hill. Relocated to Petersham (Sydney), the new Fort Street carries on the tradition, having produced a Prime Minister, Governor-General, Premiers, Judges, Scientists, University Professors, Artists and a host of other luminaries in the history of Australia.
A leather bound, limited edition of 200 individually signed and numbered books makes a rare and special gift!
An educational experience.
