Document - School Project, A Jubilee Year Publication, 1977
This 1977 Jubilee Year publication was a special project undertaken by the Form 5 Politics Class at Salesian College, Rupertswood, as part of the school’s commemorative efforts to reflect on its past, present, and future. Created during a year of celebration and reflection, the project was both a civic and educational exercise, allowing students to explore the structure and culture of their school through the lens of political systems. Organised under the themes of Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches, the publication presents a unique and structured interpretation of the college’s operations and community life. It includes contributions on key aspects of the school such as the Salesian order, the Parents and Friends Association, academic and sporting programs, the media, and the Old Boys’ Association. The project reflects the educational ethos of the time—encouraging inquiry, collaboration, and pride in one’s school. It also highlights the role of student voice in shaping the narrative of the college’s history. As a student-led initiative, this publication stands as a testament to the creativity, engagement, and reflective spirit of the 1977 cohort.This 1977 Jubilee Year publication, compiled by the Form 5 Politics Class at Salesian College, Rupertswood, is a significant historical document that captures the voice, perspective, and civic engagement of students during a milestone year in the college’s history. Created as a special project, the publication reflects a thoughtful and structured examination of the school’s identity through the lens of political systems—Legislative, Executive, and Judicial—demonstrating both creativity and critical thinking. The document is notable for its student-led authorship, its comprehensive scope—including reflections on the Salesians, the Parents and Friends Association, media, agriculture, academics, sport, and alumni—and its collaborative spirit. It offers a rare and valuable insight into how students of the time understood and interpreted the structure and culture of their school community. As a preserved artifact, this publication contributes meaningfully to the archival record of Salesian College. It not only documents the educational and social environment of the late 1970s but also highlights the enduring values of participation, reflection, and pride in community that continue to define the Rupertswood legacy.A 27 page stapled document, with a yellow front page (cover), detailing the history of Salesian College, Sunbury to 1977.salesian college, rupertswood, sunbury, 1977, jubilee -

The Beechworth Burke Museum
Photograph - Lantern Slide, c1900
This glass slide captures the crowd at the unveiling of the two cannons at Queen Victoria Park which were secured by Sir Isaac Isaacs and presented to Beechworth in 1901. In the forefront of the slide, elegantly dress ladies, some pushing strollers or holding onto children, and dapper gentlemen can be seen gathering around and on top of the park’s iconic rock. The unveiling of these two cannons would have been a celebratory affair for those in attendance, marking a momentous occasion for Beechworth residents which was captured in this lantern slide. The two cannons were secured by Sir Isaac Isaacs who was an influential figure in Beechworth. Sir Isaac Isaacs was born and raised in Beechworth, beginning his education at the Common school and eventually graduated as dux of the Beechworth Grammar School. His commitment to public service was evident early on and he was elected to the Legislative Assembly in 1892, representing Bogong, a district which included Yackandandah and Beechworth. During his time in office, Sir Isaac Isaacs pushed for better education, healthcare, employment opportunities and housing for the people of Beechworth. This glass slide is socially and historically significant as it captures a moment of celebration and advancement for the Beechworth residents while also symbolising an important milestone in the towns history. The slide also, perhaps indirectly, memorialises an important figure in Beechworth history, Sir Isaac IsaacsA thin translucent sheet of glass with a curved rectangular image printed on the front and framed in a black backing.

Book, Jill Sebire, As I remember-- : memories of life in the Wandin district, 2006
Beenak Road, Wandin Hall, the Stringybark Creek, Clements' shop, Wandin Yallock State School... all names that spark vivid memories for anyone who has lived in or around Wandin in Victoria's Yarra Valley. Jill Sebire invited a wide cross-section of 'locals' to share their memories of community and family life. The result is a rich and entertaining group of personal stories. This is not a formal history, though it covers many of the milestones of the community's growth since European settlement in the 1860s. Instead, it highlights the events, people and places that have stayed fresh in the writers' minds. 'As I Remember ..' ensures that these memories can be enjoyed into the future. Anyone who has lived in a small community will recognise many of the characters and activities. For those who have a connection with the Wandin district. 'As I Remember...' will bring back the sights and sounds of Saturday night dances, the annual trip to the beach, the Easter sports at the Wandin Recreation Ground, fruit-picking, football and cricket matches, and perhaps even the night the Rechabite Hall burnt down.(back cover)non-fictionBeenak Road, Wandin Hall, the Stringybark Creek, Clements' shop, Wandin Yallock State School... all names that spark vivid memories for anyone who has lived in or around Wandin in Victoria's Yarra Valley.
