Volunteer Tradesmen and Helpers putting the 1927 Middle Arm Public School Back Together at Fenwick Crescent.

On 31st Jul 1956, “The Crescent School” opened between Bradley and Bruce-streets on the “newly built” “Fenwick Crescent”, so it isn’t hard to see how “The Crescent School” got its name.

In Mar 1956 the 1927 Middle Arm Public School was inspected and commenced to be pulled down, with re-erection photographed on the new site at Fenwick Crescent on 22nd Apr 1956, the building once again standing on 5th May 1956, and new floors laid on 12th May 1956.

An “Actuality Broadcast” took place on 26th May 1956 along with a photo of the building team of Tom Beamish.

The building was completed on 22nd Jul 1956, signed as “The Crescent School Sub normal Children’s Welfare Association – Goulburn”.

Mrs. Tait was the teacher at the Goulburn Crescent School from 1964, which was hit by vandals over the weekend of 29th Jul 1972, in which it was “extensively damaged”. In contrast to this act of depravity, the origins of the first “special school” for Goulburn began with an “experienced and understanding” first teacher, Mrs. McConnell, on 4th May 1954…but the school then wasn’t here, it was in the new Scout Hall built by the Apexians on the N-E Corner of Addison and Bourke-streets, on a former “dumping ground” at Apex Park.

The timeline commences with the first ‘Special School’ which was established at the Apex Park Scouters’ Hall, on the N-E corner of Addison and Bourke-streets, formerly used as a “dumping ground” and transformed into a functioning park which was ‘beautified’ by Apex Club volunteers with some monetary assistance from Council.

TIMELINE

On 18th May 1954, it was reported that “Goulburn Scouts have generously made available their hall for use as a school”.

Initially these ‘special schools’, which operated under the classification as ‘Non-Departmental Schools’, were known by a different name, as a “School for sub-normal children”, and Goulburn’s operated entirely without Government aid.

On 25th Nov 1953, the concept of a ‘special school’ for Goulburn was realised when the local Rotary Club sponsored the formation of a Children’s Welfare branch in
Goulburn, and an Association was then formed. The Lions Club in Goulburn would help the School survive by contributing generous donations, but Goulburn’s Apexians not only gave the school a physical premises by offering their newly built Scout Hall to use as the School itself, but with Volunteers from their “Goulburn Central Apex Club”, physically built the premises.

On 21st Apr 1954, the first of a series of “Ugly Men” competitions was launched where men from the district entered themselves in their worst possible light, for the cause of raising funds for the school, which culminated in a carnival in Auburn-street which ran over two nights – the men having worn “special costumes from Sydney”. On

26th May 1954, three of them even rode bicycles in their costumes from Goulburn to Crookwell Showground.

The fund-raising event concluded on 24th May 1954 and was sponsored by the Odeon Theatre, with the winning “Ugly Man” receiving “a gold wristlet watch donated by G. S. and A. Zantis.”

The winner was announced at the Odeon Theatre on Saturday night, 29th May 1954.

However, the result wasn’t published until Mon 31st May 1954, with the winner being Jack Murphy of Tarago, with runners-up Stewart Jones of the Goulburn Motorcycle Club, Jack Parsons and Jack Murphy both of Goulburn.

“The winner received a watch donated by G. S. and A. Zantis.”

The School at Apex Park opened as a “minding centre” on 4th May 1954, in the Apex Club’s Scout Hall.

In December of that year, the Council considered giving land to the Association in which they could create a premises in which “the furniture and equipment” would not “have to be stacked away into a limited storage space at the end of each day’s school session.”

On 24th Dec 1954, it was reported that “The Goulburn Sub-Normal Children’s Welfare Association wants to build its own hall, on the newly formed ‘Fenwick’ Crescent, running between Bradley and Bruce Streets…The committee had asked council to sell it a block of land in Fenwick Crescent, near Bruce Street for the project…the sub-normal children’s Activity Centre and School was at present conducted in the Apex Park Scouts’ Hall. I am sure that you will readily appreciate the advantages of having our own building where the furniture and equipment does not have to be stacked away into a limited storage space at the end of each day’s school session.”

“Ald. Clark said he would wait until the valuation of the land was known before taking any steps. If it was possible, he considered council should give the land to the association as a contribution towards the worthy work it was doing. Ald. J. B. Mullen said, “If we get a school of our own, we will be able to make applications to the department for a permanent teacher here.”

In Mar 1956 the 1927 Middle Arm Public School was inspected and commenced to be pulled down.

On 22nd Apr 1956, the re-erection was photographed on the new site at Fenwick Crescent.

On 5th May 1956, the school was photographed standing.

On 12th May 1956, new floors were photographed being laid.

On 26th May 1956, an “Actuality Broadcast” took place along with a photo taken of the building team of Tom Beamish.

On 22nd Jul 1956, the building was completed, signed as “The Crescent School Sub normal Children’s Welfare Association – Goulburn”.

On 31st Jul 1956, “The Crescent School” opened.

The new “Fenwick Crescent” was also the site for “three greens and a club house” to be built in a “new area…at the rear of the existing greens and club house” of the Bowling Club reported on 14th Jun 1957 for the “plans to proceed” with “no decision…made on the future of the present property which will remain in use until the new area is in full operation.”

On 16th Nov 1964, a ‘fete’ at the school brought in ‘record-breaking’ funds in which to benefit its students, and on 27th Nov 1964, it was reported that Mr. Jim Trustian, a former President of the Rotarians, was made an honorary Mayor of the city of Delaware, in the state of Ohio, USA, and in a surprise unsolicited gesture, the Rotary Club there offered assistance to the school in any way they could.

The Rotary Club in New Jersey did the same…but what would be unheard of today, is that the school was “run by Goulburn citizens… without Government aid.”

The Goulburn Apex Club built the Crescent School a brand-new workshop, which was reported on 10th Aug 1965.

The ‘Crescent School’ relocated to Fitzroy-street and in 1979, the original School then became the Tambelin Independent School Goulburn.

A school for sub-normal children will open in Goulburn in the near future. The opening date will be fixed at a Committee meeting on April 5.

This was decided at the in augural meeting of the Goulburn branch of the Sub-Normal Children's Association held last Thursday.

Classes are to be held in the Scout Hall. Twenty children have already been enrolled, and the organisers hope many more will follow.

The organisers hope that the classes will eventually warrant a departmental teacher being sent from Sydney.

FURNITURE, PIANO

The Rotary Club will provide the necessary equipment, such as, tables, chairs and blackboard etc.”

7th Apr 1954

Equipment Needed For School For Sub-Normal

Goulburn branch of the Sub-Normal Children's- Welfare Association' will open a minding centre on May 4.

This centre, to be situated at the Scout Hall in Apex Park, will develop into a school for the training of sub-normal children. Goulburn Rotary, which has been concerned with the establishment of this school, to-day appealed for donations of small kindergarten chairs and toy cars or cycles to help extend the centre.

If any residents have any of these articles, they do not want, they may arrange for their disposal by contacting Mr. A. Frankish. c/o Chief Clothing Co.

When the minding centre has been established, and enrolments are known, definite action will be taken to obtain a trained teacher to supervise the children.”

21st Apr 1954

“UGLY MEN" TO AID SCHOOL FOR THE SUB-NORMAL

An ugly man competition, to raise funds for Goulburn subnormal Children's Association, is now in full swing. There are over ten "ugly men" working for the success of the competition.

The organisers hope that enough money will be raised to allow the Goulburn committee to arrange for the permanent appointment of a teacher here.

Over 20 re****ed children have already enrolled in classes, which will be held in the Scouts’ Hall in Apex Park.

Some of the "ugly"' men nominated include, Jack Murphy, Alan "needles" Powell, Bill Nesbitt, Ken Wood, John Paxton and Jack Guy. “

5th May 1954

“Sub-Normal School Opened Yesterday

A minding centre, for sub-normal children, opened in Goulburn's Scout Hall yesterday.
The object of the Sub-Normal Children's Association is to help these unfortunate children become useful members of the community.

Classes started yesterday morning under the direction of Miss G. McConnell, an experienced and understanding teacher who has taught at Wollongong’s sub-normal school and in government schools.

Six children, with their mothers, attended the opening class yesterday, and it is expected that the numbers will grow as the centre becomes known. Children will be taught basic general knowledge and to take their place in the community.

ENCOURAGING START

President of Goulburn's Sub-Normal Children's Association, Mr. E. Rodney, said:
"This is a very encouraging start. We did not expect wonders but the movement will certainly develop.“

10th May 1954

“"UGLY MEN" TO PARADE

The Ugly Man competition, being conducted for the N.S.W. Crippled Children's and the Sub-Normal Children's Associations is now in full swing. The contest will conclude on May 19.
One of the objects of the appeal is to provide funds for the Sub-Normal Children School, which opened in Goulburn's Scout Hall last week.
On Wednesday and Thursday nights a street carnival will be held in Auburn Street, in conjunction with the competition.
A feature of the occasion will be a parade of the "ugly men" in special costumes, brought from Sydney.

(See related article on the “Ugly Men” Competition in Goulburn in aid of the Sub-Normal School).

18th May 1954

“Goulburn Scouts have generously made available their hall for use as a school.
Funds are urgently needed to provide suitable amenities for these unfortunate children…”

20th May 1954

“Goulburn Rotary Club, always ready to sponsor and aid a worthy cause, has stood behind the centre since the idea was first developed. Rotarians supplied many of the amenities used in the centre, and every day provide transport for the children to and front the school. Local businessmen also heeded an appeal for help, providing many of the simple articles used in training the children. Goulburn Boy Scouts also co-operated and provided for a nominal rental the use of their hill in Apex Park.”

THE CRESCENT SCHOOL

On 24th Dec 1954, it was reported that “The Goulburn Sub-Normal Children’s Welfare Association wants to build its own hall, on the newly formed ‘Fenwick’ Crescent, running between Bradley and Bruce Streets. This was revealed in a letter received at last night’s City Council meeting. The committee had asked council to sell it a block of land in Fenwick Crescent, near Bruce Street for the project. Association president Mr. E. J. Rodney said the sub-normal children’s Activity Centre and School was at present conducted in the Apex Park Scouts’ Hall. “I am sure that you will readily appreciate the advantages of having our own building where the furniture and equipment does not have to be stacked away into a limited storage space at the end of each day’s school session.”

3rd Dec 1964

“Teacher who faces a challenge in every child
Goulburn Correspondent
To the patient woman, who runs a school no bigger than an ordinary home, each child in her care is a challenge, each lesson learned is a victory. For Mrs. M. C. Tait knows that none of her 24 pupils will ever be scholars. Her aim at the Crescent School for re****ed children at Goulburn is to make them "socially competent and socially acceptable”.
Said Mrs. Tait yesterday, "It is important that they learn to function as independently of their parents as possible.
"The children serve morning tea — and make the tea themselves. We shall soon have a new building, with a large kitchen in which we can teach both boys and girls simple cooking."
Meanwhile, the pupils — who include some adults — get basic schooling and are taught to make table-lamps, baskets and ornaments…
Mrs. Tait is the mother of six normal, healthy children. She began her study of re****ed children after her marriage.
She recalls that she planned to build a school for re****ed children in the street in Melbourne where she once lived, but that a neighbour petitioned against it and the plan failed.
Mrs. Tait said, "I was horrified that anyone would do such a thing."
So after, she took up the study of re****ed children as people and became qualified.
The Crescent School consists of two rooms, a kitchen, a small verandah and lavatories, has so far managed without Government aid.
But early next year, it will occupy more than three times its present area. A sheltered workshop and other rooms being built voluntarily by members of Goulburn Central Apex will be opened.
And the patient Woman will struggle on with the tasks in which there is no guarantee of success.”

6th Feb 1965

“U.S. clubs to aid school
GOULBURN, Friday. —
The Goulburn Rotary Club is preparing a list of suggestions for a group of Rotary clubs in New Jersey. U.S.A., which — at no one's request — has written to the club offering aid for the Goulburn Crescent School.
The letter from the New Jersey clubs to the Goulburn club gave no details of what help the clubs were prepared to give.

The Crescent school is run by Goulburn citizens without Government aid for about 20 sub-normal people whose ages range from four to about 40. It has been in existence for about 10 years and at present is in a small building.
The Goulburn Apex Club is building a sheltered work shop to cater for expansion and the new additions, adjoining the present building, are partly constructed.”

The new sheltered workshop at the Crescent School for Subnormal Children would provide an opportunity for handicapped people to be treated as adults and to do useful work, the State President of the Association for the Mentally Re****ed, Mr. G. Podger, said at the official opening on Sunday. Even complex jobs could be undertaken if they were broken down into simple steps, he said. The workshop was built by the Goulburn Central Apex Club.”

GOULBURN, Monday.
— The Goulburn Crescent School for Sub-normal Children was extensively damaged by vandals at the weekend. All classes at the school today were called off because of the destruction of equipment and property. The vandals tore tapes from tape recorders, splashed milk, tomato sauce and cleaning powder over the floors and walls, and spattered the floor with an acid-base glue. Obscenities were written in the visiting clergy book and remarks about one of the teachers were scrawled over the blackboard. Between $7 and $10 was stolen from a savings bank box.”
