Historical information

The Ruyton Reporter (formerly known as Ruyton Reports) captures the essential Ruyton Girls' School experience for the broader school community. It has been produced since 1986.

Significance

The record has strong historic significance as it pertains to one of the oldest girls' school in Victoria, Australia. Ruyton was founded in 1878 in the Bulleen Road, Kew, home of newly widowed Mrs Charlotte Anderson (now High Street South). Thus, the record can be used as a reference example for research into Victorian school history. It also gives insight into the types of activities and events undertaken at Ruyton Girls' School during the period of its production.

The record's significance is further enhanced by its exceptionally well-documented provenance, having remained the property of Ruyton Girls' School since its production.

'Walkathon': A Triumph! /
Final Total: $35,000.00 /
The extraordinary success of this event in which every girl from Prep to Year 12 participated /
must be attributed to School Co-Captains, Amelia Jones and Kadri Kutt. Loyally supported /
by the Sports Co-Captains, Juanita McLaren and Penny Mudge, their leadership ensured /
that Mr. Stan Guilfoyle would generously provide maximum support for their efforts. Our /
grateful thanks go to all parents and other sponsors who helped our girls achieve this /
outstanding result. /
