Graduates of Early Childhood Education
The University of South Australia graduates of early childhood education come from a strong heritage
of educators stemming back to 1907 when 11 students began the course of studies for
kindergarten teachers with Lillian de Lissa - the first principal of the Kindergarten Training
College. From as early as 1911 teachers have met as a group, forming The Kindergarten Club, the first of many names of
de Lissa Association of Early Childhood Graduates Inc.
Over the years members have enjoyed catching up with fellow classmates and old friends at an array of events and activities organised by the de Lissa Association of Early Childhood Graduates Inc committee. Due to declining membership numbers the committee is in the process of formally winding up the de Lissa Association of Early Childhood Graduates Inc.
For further information on future events and activities for graduates of early childhood education,
please contact the School of Education.
