About this product

Product Information

In the story of the biggest school blow-up in Australian history, The Vetting of Wisdom is a gripping tale of a revered Principal-acclaimed nationwide as the leading girls' school educator of her day-loved and admired by all-but with a determined Presbyterian Church minority bent on getting rid of her. Following the formation of the Uniting Church in 1977, the continuing Presbyterians seized PLC and Scotch College from what they saw as the wreckage of Church Union and sought to cast the premier girls' school in their own church-focused image. They were met by court cases, parliamentary fiats, outraged parents, storms of mail, fiery Council debates, packed public meetings and a voluminous, disbelieving press. But after years of bitter protest, Joan Montgomery eventually fell only to be replaced by PLC's first male headmaster in 47 years. For Kim Rubenstein, a former PLC school captain and now with her own brilliant career, it was her first experience of power trumping reason. In the busy years since school, she has often puzzled over what made Montgomery such an inspiring role model for PLC girls and what, in the end, made Joan's detractors think otherwise. The Vetting of Wisdom: Joan Montgomery and the Fight for PLC is the careful piecing together of this puzzle.

    Excellent Quality. Like New. Looks very nice! Seller's price UNBEATABLE. I'd buy from this Seller again. Description spot on. Seller's communication always XL+, very helpful & pleasant. Being local's always a BONUS. Packaging XL+. I was afraid to open package. It's like opening a B'day present w/o the Gift wrap. Post cost's definitely XL+ being FREE. Excellent delivery time. Arrived earlier than predicted, considering our mail usually takes over 2wk from anywhere, bcoz we're remote. 10Q so much

    Bought from this excellent seller before. Purchased 4 x cd’s on this occasion, but leaving this one review. Each CD disc is probably Near Mint and better than described. Great prices (inclusive of postage). Quickly despatched & very nicely packaged by the seller. Fast delivery by Australia Post. Thanks. This seller is highly recommended !

    Perfect seller! All items received in beautiful condition. Everything is accurately described and a huge plus is that this seller actually displays photographs of the actual item which is extremely helpful since I was after specific pressings of CDs, all of which were delivered flawlessly. Super prompt, friendly and communicative communication. Unbeatable value for money and everything is in top quality and condition. Very deserving of the 100% positive feedback track record. Highly recommended!
