Hi Lex, much depends on whether it is a hassle getting out of Sydney after I put the dog in storage (APEC conference road closures and mayhem everywhere) - so I'll be leaving Sydney about 10am and am anticipating it could take about an hour to get out of town. So think I will get there around 2ish but am happy to meet with you whenever as fully aware you will be at work so might not be available until late evening. If you can't get away I'll take myself off to the Natl Library till you are free so pls ju

Anything in the Schools Correspondence Files at the PRO? Could be worth a look. If it was an authorised school there would/should have been communication with the Ed Dept.

Hello Beth and others, Thankyou to Beth for your information. There was a room in the former telegraph station building which was used as a school, and there is a photo there of children who would have been at the school. Judging from the clothes of the children we thought that the photo could have been taken in the 1920s. There has been significant restoration done on the old telegraph building which is a credit to the people who have been involved in achieving this. Regards, Janet. ----- Origin

Hello Robyn, Beth, Beryl and all, You might be interested to hear a little more on the lightstation. In the former school room there are copies of a letter to the Minister of Education, Melbourne which is as follows: "We the undersigned parents and residents at Cape Otway desire to bring to your notice the number of children at this place, and the disadvantage they labor under in the total absence of provision for their educational requirements. Ther are at Cape Otway at the present time sixteen c

Hello all Thanks for sharing your knowledge and news of the restoration Janet. Most of the lighthouses and remote family homes had a room or special area designated as the schoolroom. Usually the mothers had to supervise the children's lessons along with everything else (as they do when studying through the Distance Education Centre even today). More fortunate families had a paid or subsidised person to act as the children's supervisors. Beth Codling bcodling2@bigpond.com -----Original Message----- From:

Hello Janet and others During the 1980s and I assume prior to then, the children of lighthouse keepers were taught by what were then the Victorian Primary and Secondary Correspondence Schools. These schools combined in 1995 to become the Distance Education Centre Victoria-a P-12 school. I was an Emergency Teacher at the Primary Correspondence School during the 1980s and there were several families enrolled. I can recall a couple of teachers flying in by helicopter to do a "home visit" to Wilson's Prom. Chi
11. Re: [AUS-VIC-WESTERN-DISTRICT] Cape Otway Lightstation and Teachers [1]
Hello List, My interest in teachers who taught the children of the light keepers has been rekindled after a visit there during the week. Vida McDonald, a sister of my grandmother, taught the children of the light keepers' families in the early 1920s. I'd love to hear from anyone who can suggest where I could obtain further information, or anyone who knows something of the teachers at the lightstation. Regards, Janet. --------------------------------------------------- Letter content was scanned by Win
