How have schools changed? In the early 1900s, the wealthy children attended private schools. The schools were houses with a few rooms in them, there would be a little amount of seats. They were small, with only about three or four pupils in each grade. One teacher taught several grades in just one room. In the private schools, girls and boys were not together. They went to separate academies. Some of the subjects the girls learned were reading, spelling, history, geography and handwriting. Sometimes they learned manners and dancing, French, drawing and how to walk and act like a young lady. The public schools, on the other hand, were free and mostly attended by the kids who were not rich. Boys and girls were at the same school. There was a class for each grade level with about 20 to 30 kids in each class.

Changes in education from 1789 - 1852 1789 Isabella Rosson started the first school with her husband.   In the 1800s children were taught by their parents if their parents could read and write, or they went to schools run by churches.   In 1852 There were some tent schools on the goldfields.

Changes in education from 1854 - 1990 In 1854 a teacher’s school called the National Model School was set up in Melbourne. The children of rich families were taught at home by tutors or sent to private schools where both teachers and buildings were better. In 1890 new schools were built. In 1914 teachers were better trained, students learned to read and write, and study nature. They exercised in sport classes too. Secondary learning was limited mostly to private schools. In the country, children travelled to school by horse. In 1960 technology like film, came in to the classrooms. In the 1990s computers came around.
