I have limited my Education writings to articles written outside of my actual work requirements.
E3 - The
Junee Plan Papers
Mr CJ (Jim)
(Dean, as principal, was the Creator and architect of the Junee Plan. I was
coordinator of the plan during my appointment (1972 – 1973).
Before Mr Dean
died, at age 84, I bound a copy of the papers I had written and sent them to
him as a memento. E4, E5, E6, E7 appear in this volume. An additional article
may be found in the literature section (L8) ‘Fields of Gold’ in the article ‘Visionary
Educator’.
