Description
SECONDHAND BOOK
Contains CD supplement.
Scotch College, Melbourne, is remarkable for having reached the age of 150 years (Melbourne itself is not much older) and has commissioned this history in celebration of that achievement. For those associated with the school, the anniversary is sufficient reason for a history. Others will dip into these pages out of a curiosity about the highly prominent role that Scotch has played in the wider Australian community.
Rather than chronicle the public achievements of its alumni, however, A Deepening Roar concentrates on the school’s inner life. It breathes with the lived experience of the school through the perspective of its pupils, teachers and leaders. And so, far from merely singing the school’s praises, it touches upon good and bad, triumphs and stumbles, hopes and fears – all woven into a rich story of that vital enterprise, the education of the young.
