A COLLEGE IMMORTALISED IN WORDS …..

More than 120 people crowded into the Danks St library recently to officially help Foundation Principal Steven Cook launch his new book.

The book, “From The Ground Up: How a Community with a Vision and a Principal with a Purpose created a Thriving State School”, details how the Albert Park community worked closely with Steve to create one of Victoria’s top secondary schools out of the rubble of its failed predecessor.

The book details APC’s early days and offers Steve’s views on how to build a successful public school.

APC parent and media personality Kate Langbroek launched the event with a passionate speech about the importance of public education, and why she chose APC for her children.

Special guests included former Albert Park MP and APC supporter Martin Foley, and his successor Nina Taylor.

Also in attendance were a number of former school council presidents, past and present members of the school council, and a who’s who of the APC school community.
