Abstract: | Established in 1908 by George Swinburne, a former mayor of Hawthorn and Victorian parliamentarian, the Eastern Suburbs Technical College in Hawthorn offered classes in carpentry, plumbing and blacksmithing. The first students enrolled in 1909, and a boys' junior technical school and the first girls' technical school in Victoria were established soon after. The institution was renamed Swinburne Technical College in 1913 in honour of its founder. | Publication Type: | Entry In Reference Work | Source of Publication: | The Encyclopedia of Melbourne, p. 1-1 | Publisher: | Cambridge University Press | Place of Publication: | Melbourne, Australia | ISBN: | 9780521842344 9780521842341 |
