Celebrating 50 years of Education at RMIT University
For 50 years, RMIT University has played an important role in developing quality teachers and educators. In such a demanding field, graduates have gone on to become teachers and principals in government and private schools and early childhood centres, lecturers in universities and government education officers. They have also taught in overseas countries and developed and delivered educational programs in industry and the community. No longer the domain of just the classroom, teachers are needed everywhere. It’s hard to imagine what life would be like without them.
From 1959 at Coburg Primary Teachers’ College, to State College of Victoria at Coburg and Phillip Institute of Technology to RMIT University today, 50 years of education is a milestone worth celebrating.

Then and Now: Celebrating 50 years of teacher education at RMIT
Teacher Journeys
As part of the 50th Year Celebration for Teacher Education at RMIT University, Gloria Latham and Peter Meaney collected stories and photographs from current staff about their journeys into teaching. The book Teacher Journeys is the 2nd volume of tributes to the teaching profession, and to the remarkable and dedicated professionals who form the teaching team in the School of Education. Volume 1, The Teacher in Us: Journeys into Discoveries was published in 1996 by Gloria Latham and Maureen Savage to mark the closure of the Coburg Campus to relocate at Bundoora.
In this 2nd Edition, special thanks to Arda Culpan for the cover design, Thembi Mason for typesetting and editorial assistance and to RMIT University for their continued support.
