Co-education
Description
Collection summary
This collection comprises photographs, documents and artefacts that trace the introduction and development of co-education at Carey Baptist Grammar School from 1979 onwards. It captures the significant cultural and educational shift as the school transitioned from a boys’ school to a co-educational environment, reflecting changing attitudes in Australian education and society. The materials document the experiences of the first girls to attend Carey, the adaptation of school life and facilities and the ongoing evolution of co-education across subsequent decades. Together, they offer a vivid record of one of the most transformative periods in the school’s history
