Teachers dedicated to educating generations of Australian school children will join together for a special 70th anniversary reunion at QUT this week.
Graduates from the Queensland Teachers Training College (QUT's predecessor) in 1946 will gather at QUT's Kelvin Grove campus this Wednesday at midday.
More than 30 former teachers, aged over 85, will catch up with their classmates at the Refectory and walk through QUT's iconic A-block building.
The event has been planned by alumnus Phil Cullen AM, a former Director of Primary Education in Queensland.
He is widely known for his concern for the morale of teachers and leadership in primary education.
He and his colleagues will reminisce about working in one-teacher schools, administering isolated schools, rote learning on Fridays and past pupils.
