Description :
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 churchfocused
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.
