Alexander Mackie College was a tertiary education institution that trained school teachers in Sydney, Australia. It existed from 1958 to 1974[1] continuing as Alexander Mackie College of Advanced Education from 1975 to 1981.[2] In January 1982 the college was reformed into two institutes, St George Institute of Education [3] and City Art Institute [4] under the umbrella of the new Sydney College of Advanced Education.[5]
History
editAlexander Mackie College (AMC) was established in 1958 at Paddington.[1] Mr. W. E. Hart was its first principal and Dr Campbell the deputy principal.[1] The college initially trained primary and infant school teachers. Later it became a college training teachers in art, music, science and social science.[6][1]
Due to increasing student numbers the main teaching campus in Albion Avenue was too small and the college conducted classes at five different sites in inner-Sydney.[1]
From 1 September 1971, Alexander Mackie College was declared a college of advanced education within the Department of Education, NSW.[7]
