History

The Presbyterian Ladies' College, Sydney was the first Presbyterian school for girls', and the second Presbyterian school (after the now defunct Cooerwull Academy for boys' in 1882) established in the colony of New South Wales. The school was founded with 39 girls, on 30 January 1888, at "Fernlea", a fourteen-roomed gentleman's residence set in three acres of ground at Victoria Street, Ashfield, the current site of the Masonic Hospital. This establishment saw the culmination of five years' work by a committee of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of N.S.W.^[3] The Cooerwull Academy is a defunct Presbyterian day and boarding school for boys located in Lithgow, New South Wales, Australia. ...

The decision to commence a Ladies' College was made in 1883 when the Assembly formed a special committee to investigate the establishment of Superior Boarding Schools for girls and boys. The church saw an urgency to provide Presbyterian education in the colony due to the growth in Roman Catholic secondary schools. Many expressed fear of the outcome of this growth with Rev. James Cameron stating "Presbyterians should take prompt action because the Popish party, seeing the want that was felt throughout the colony in regard to higher education, has stepped in to supply that want, and if Protestants did not look to the matter, the Roman Catholics would take advantage of them." The New South Wales Scottish community had also expressed dissatisfaction with the educational options available to their children. The N.S.W Assembly was, however, also inspired to establish a Ladies' College by less worthy motives. For example, in the "rival" colony of Victoria, Presbyterians had had a Ladies' College since 1875, and so it was felt that N.S.W Presbyterians should also have one. Further, other Protestant denominations had Ladies' Colleges, therefore the Presbyterians should have one too.^[3] Image File history File links Size of this preview: 431 Ã— 600 pixelsFull resolution (1768 Ã— 2461 pixel, file size: 225 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) Dr. John Marden, Principal of PLC Sydney (1888-1919) Source:Presbyterian Ladies College public website, http://www. ...

By July 1887, the committee had purchased the Ashfield property and advertised far and wide for an appropriate principal. They unanimously selected Dr. John Marden, a science master from the Methodist Ladies' College in Melbourne, "because of his high academic standing, his experience and success in teaching and his high Christian character".^[17] Marden was a strong believer in equal opportunity in education, and has been described as an "early feminist" and "truly a man before his time". He was once quoted as saying "I am out of sympathy with the cry that education is unnecessary for girls and that all they require is a few accomplishments. Women have also to live their life - in most cases a harder one than men have."^[18] Generally speaking, advertising is the paid promotion of goods, services, companies and ideas by an identified sponsor. ...

By August 1888, the College had outgrown the Ashfield site, which had always been considered a temporary home for the college, and Council began discussing alternative sites in the nearby suburb of Croydon. On 5 September 1889, Col. John Hay Goodlet told the council of "Shubra Hall", the home of Anthony Hordern III at Croydon, and urged Council to purchase it. Subsequently, the property was purchased on 26 October for £7,500. Plans were promptly drawn up for the additional buildings required, and by the beginning of the school year of 1891, the new site was complete and ready to commence furnishing as the permanent home of P.L.C.^[19] Marden consolidated the new school and, keenly interested in horticulture, laid out beautiful gardens and playing fields.^[20] is the 248th day of the year (249th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The "Presbyterian" reported of the opening of the College on 10 March, by the new Governor of N.S.W., the Rt. Hon.

The opening of the new buildings received wide publicity in the papers of March 1891. This was principally due to an impromptu speech made by the Countess of Jersey, Margaret Child-Villiers, of which was considered a controversial and ground-breaking move, as it was most unusual for women to speak in public. Encouraged by her husband, the Countess spoke of the opportunities available to girls at the college, the future role of Australian women, and the need for life-long learning. P.L.C's "Jersey Day", an annual event where ex-students return to the college on the Sunday closest to 10 March, is named in the Countesses honour.^[21] Image File history File links Metadata Size of this preview: 800 Ã— 600 pixelsFull resolution (2560 Ã— 1920 pixel, file size: 1. ...

By 1902, space had again become a problem due to increasing enrolments. Marden urged that new classrooms be built, which Council reluctantly agreed to. These buildings comprising six classrooms downstairs and eighteen rooms upstairs, were finished and handed over by the contractor on 6 October 1904, at a cost of £2,000. This increase in enrolments also convinced Council of the need to set up a branch school on another site, preferably on the North Shore. A committee was set up in June 1907 to study the feasibility of a second school, yet recommendations were not considered by the Council. By 1913, space at the college was at a premium. Marden reported that many applications were being refused because of "shortness of space". This matter was taken to the General Assembly of 1913, resulting in the approval of the establishment of a branch at Pymble under the Council of P.L.C Sydney. The Council was given £5,000 to erect new buildings and lay out the grounds. "The Presbyterian Ladies' College, Pymble" was opened on 8 February 1916 with 48 day girls and 86 boarders.^[19] This school is still in existence, and is now known as 'Pymble Ladies' College'. The opening of the Pymble campus necessitated a change of name for the Croydon college, from 'The Presbyterian Ladies' College, Sydney' to The Presbyterian Ladies' College, Croydon.^[19] A contractor is a legal term for one who enters into a binding agreement to perform a certain service or provide a certain product in exchange for valuable consideration, monetary, goods,services, even barter arrangements. ... is the 279th day of the year (280th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1904 (MCMIV) was a leap year starting on a Friday (see link for calendar). ...

The "Presbyterian Ladies' College, Beecroft" was established by P.L.C Sydney in 1924 with thirteen students. It was to serve as a primary 'feeder school' for the College, however it did not receive adequate attention from college council and was forced to close in 1929. This school was reopened in 1930 by the assistant teacher, Miss Gurney, who named it "Arden". The school flourished under Gurney's leadership and thus "Arden Anglican School" is still in existence today.^[22] Beecroft is a suburb of Sydney, Australia, within the Hornsby Shire Local Government Area, about 20 kilometres north-west of the citys central business district. ...

1942 saw major upheaval and difficulties for the college. The new principal, Dr. Helen Wilkie, arrived to find falling enrolments, staffing problems and food shortages due to the effects of the raging Second World War. The situation was made much worse as word was received that Australian military authorities wished to inspect the school with a view to taking it over. On 24 March 1942, it was requested that the school be occupied by the Royal Australian Air Force for the purpose of establishing a top secret Radar Unit and military barracks^[23] known as No.1 RIMU (Radio Installation and Maintenance Unit).^[24] As a result, Council approached Meriden School in Strathfield to see if P.L.C could be accommodated there. Meriden kindly agreed to house the P.L.C boarders and to accommodate singing, domestic science, and physical education classes.^[23] Further, the school purchased "Lingwood", a property in Strathfield, as a centre for the schools remaining activities. In spite of the apparent happy association with Meriden, Dr. Wilkie, recommended that further integration with the school should not proceed, and thus at the end of 1924, Meriden indicated that they would no longer house the P.L.C boarders.^[23] Combatants Allied powers: China France Great Britain Soviet Union United States and others Axis powers: Germany Italy Japan and others Commanders Chiang Kai-shek Charles de Gaulle Winston Churchill Joseph Stalin Franklin Roosevelt Adolf Hitler Benito Mussolini Hideki TÅjÅ Casualties Military dead: 17,000,000 Civilian dead: 33,000...

From here, P.L.C moved to "Lauriston" (now the primary school of Santa Sabina College) and "Welbeck", on The Boulevarde at Strathfield. In July, 1944, the owners of Lingwood asked if the school was interested in buying the property. Council agreed to the purchase in order to use the house as a Kindergarten feeder school for the college, or as a site for a permanent move. A few months later, Council decided that the future of P.L.C lay in Strathfield and not in Croydon, and offered the Croydon campus to the military for £36,500. Plans were subsequently drawn up to purchase Welbeck and Lauriston to form the new P.L.C.^[23] Image File history File links Metadata Size of this preview: 800 Ã— 600 pixelsFull resolution (2560 Ã— 1920 pixel, file size: 1. ...

Council's wish for the school to stay in Strathfield was not shared by most,^[23] with one student writing:

In 1945, after intervention by the Education Trust of the N.S.W General Assembly, which had been investigating the future of the college, Council decided that the Strathfield proposal was not viable. It was agreed that P.L.C would reopen at Croydon in first term 1946. The military agreed to pay for the extensive renovations that were needed, with the final cheque handed over from the government on 21 March 1949. "Lauriston" and "Welbeck" were subsequently disposed of by the Council in 1946, however, the Lingwood property was retained as a preparatory school. Negotiations were entered into with Miss Margaret Thompson, the owner and principal of "Branxton", a private school in Homebush Road, Strathfield. It was agreed that Thompson would close her school and move it to the Lingwood property where it would retain the name "Branxton",^[b] and come under the control of P.L.C Council. Branxton had an informal link to the College prior to 1946, as it had been founded by the sister of an ex-student, and many Branxton students had gone on to complete their high school education at P.L.C.^[23] An academic term is a division of an academic year, the time during which a school, college or university holds classes. ...

In 1977, a union of the Congregational, Methodist and Presbyterian Churches took place, forming the Uniting Church of Australia. Approximately half of the Presbyterian Church decided to remain Presbyterian and consequently the property of the Church had to be divided. In May of that year, it was announced that P.L.C Croydon was to remain Presbyterian and P.L.C Pymble would be transferred, and its name changed to "Pymble Ladies' College". Subsequently, in 1978 it was decided that P.L.C Croydon should return to its originally intended name of "The Presbyterian Ladies' College, Sydney".^[26] Congregational churches are Protestant Christian churches practicing congregationalist church governance, in which each congregation independently and autonomously runs its own affairs. ...

Motto and crest

The school crest was adopted at a College Council meeting on 23 August 1888. It now forms the badge worn on the school uniform. The College Council decided to use the same crest as that used by the Presbyterian Church of New South Wales, but with minor modifications.^[1] A modern coat of arms is derived from the medi val practice of painting designs onto the shield and outer clothing of knights to enable them to be identified in battle, and later in tournaments. ... is the 235th day of the year (236th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The Church's crest consisted of a shield with the words "Nec Tamen Consumebatur" (translated from Latin as "And yet it was not consumed")^[32] surrounding it. A burning bush, the stars of the Southern Cross and a Latin cross, in outline, were on the shield. At the base were the floral emblems of Scotland, England and Ireland, with only the thistle and rose clearly defined. Surrounding the shield was a border with the words "Presbyterian Church of New South Wales". At the top of the border was the Star of David. Behind both shield and borders was the cross of St. Andrew in blue.^[1] For other uses, see Latin (disambiguation). ... Burning bush at St. ...

At Federation in 1901, Presbyterian churches of the various Australian states also federated. The newly formed Presbyterian Church of Australia adopted as its crest the NSW crest, changing "New South Wales" to "Australia". In 1939 the General Assembly of Australia adopted a new crest: the star of David disappeared, the Latin cross was added and the floral emblems were redrawn with the thistle in centre position. These changes account for the differences between the school's crest and the Church's crest today.^[1] The federation of Australia was the process by which the six separate British colonies of New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia formed a federation. ...

School badge

The school's highly symbolic badge was inspired by the first principal, Dr. Marden and designed by the first art teacher, Mr. J.A. Bennett in 1888. The maiden on the lion (representing Knowledge), crowned with a tower (The Home), and holding a trident (Sovereignty) and a laurel wreath (Victory), represents the victory of true womanhood, whose crown is the home, over force. The sun symbolises light and vitalising energy while the crescent moon stands for youth.

P.L.C Armidale/P.L.C Sydney Alliance

In late August 2005, due to financial troubles at the Presbyterian Ladies' College, Armidale, it was announced that P.L.C Armidale and P.L.C Sydney would join together to form an alliance. It is hoped that this alliance will strengthen P.L.C Armidale through cooperative marketing, a change in management and a stronger financial base. It should also be of benefit to both schools through student exchanges, accommodation for sporting events or excursions, and a 'country or city' option for prospective students.

In the September-October 2005 edition of the Presbyterian Church in New South Wales' "Church Offices Newsletter", the Chairman of Trustees, Jeof Falls, announced this alliance between the two schools:

Ex-Students' Union

The Ex-Students' Union was inaugurated on the evening of 9 December 1905, when at the invitation of Dr. Marden, several former students discussed the proposal, elected as their President the then Lady Superintendent, Miss Marion Pickard, and formed a committee to produce a constitution. These were confirmed at a General Meeting on Jersey Day, 1906, and the committee took office until 1907. At its foundation, the main objective of the union was to "be the accumulation of a special fund to be devoted to the erection of a chapel^[d] and library at the College, and an Ex-Students' prize to be awarded annually to the girl most proficient in work and sport."^[61] An inauguration is a ceremony of formal investiture whereby an individual assumes an office or position of authority or power. ... is the 343rd day of the year (344th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1905 (MCMV) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar). ...

The Union achieved much in its first few years, renting a building in the CBD to serve as a club and committee meeting place, making garments for hospitals, visiting Kindergartens, the YWCA, Home of Peace, Infants' Home and the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children. An Ex-Students' Orchestra and Dramatic Club were formed, and Tennis and Croquet matches were held between current and former pupils.^[61] A view of the Sydney CBD from Farm Cove Map of the CBD The central business district (CBD) of Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, Australia, extends southwards for about 2 km from Sydney Cove, the point of first European settlement. ...

In 1916 the Pymble College was opened and its first Ex-Students' expressed an interest in joining the Union. Subsequently, a combined Union was formed, known as 'The P.L.C Croydon and Pymble Ex-Students' Union', and an Ex-Students' prize was established at Pymble on the same conditions as at Croydon.^[61]

One of the Unions' most significant contributions to the school was planned following the death of Dr. Marden in 1924. With the desire to provide Marden with a "fitting and lasting memorial", it was decided that a library, to be called the "John Marden Memorial Library", should be built at the Croydon College. This building was opened by Mrs. Marden in 1927 and although no longer suitable as a library due its size, remains a treasured part of the school.^[61] For other uses, see Library (disambiguation). ...

In 1929, it was proposed that "Pymble students should form a separate Union" and that an equitable division of Union funds should be undertaken. This explains the two separate groups that exist today, however it is still not uncommon for Pymble students to attend Croydon reunions and events, particularly those in regional areas or interstate.^[61] Funding or financing is to provide capital (funds), which means money for a project, a person, a business or any other private or public institution. ...
