EARLY DAYS ...

A living history - Book One

The Founders 1945 – 1949

Written by Old Scholar Nicky Boynton-Bricknell

Early Days a living history is a comprehensive overview of the first five years of St Peters Lutheran College. Information is sourced from The Queensland Lutheran, the College magazines: The St Peters Lutheran College Magazine (1945) and The Review (1946 – 1949), St Peters – A Progression and the memories of founding students themselves.

The Founders 1945 – 1949 explores and records the memories and life stories of every person who was present on the campus during the founding years: the early volunteer force that readied Ross Roy and built a dormitory for the boys, teachers, students, the domestic staff and others who gave their time, energy and donated goods and equipment to the College.

The overarching narrative of a school, whose main aim was to prepare young men for the ministry and to educate boys and girls to be worthwhile citizens, demonstrates a conviction that Christian values should forever be upheld through the College motto Plus Ultra.

This is the story of the beginnings of your school. It is an engaging and informative read.
