1950 Annual Report
Working backwards – i found that the observation of the haggard and drawn faces of the outgoing committee in 1950 was primarily due to a huge amount of work that they had achieved in organising and getting ready to “host” the Australian Association of Pre-School Child Development Biennial Conference in 1951. The fruits of which were keenly felt by the incoming committee and probably lead to a substantially more stable committee membership.
The impassioned plea for greater participation, for leadership and sharing roles, for training on committee mechanics is heart-felt – and could be on the hearts and minds of many parent volunteers in any similar committee in 2011.
There are a lot of references to places, groups, associations, colleges, and important people; substantially reflecting the growth of the national and international interest in the Canberra model of suburban Pre-School Play Centres.
