The History of Arts Day

In 1974, PLC held the first Senior School Arts Day.

It all started with a committee being formed in the early weeks of first term in 1974 and consisted of two representatives from each House and two members of staff. The committee President was appointed the inaugural School Arts Captain and in addition, each House had for the first time, a House Arts Captain as well as a House Sports Captain.

Members of the original Committee and the first House Arts Captains were:

Kerry Dowland (Carmichael)

Caroline McKenzie (McNeil)

Rebecca Clough (Ferguson); and

Wendy Carlin (Stewart).

“We were uncertain whether enough girls were interested or willing to participate in such a festival but the only way to find out was to make the opportunity available, and then it was up to the girls themselves to take it or leave it,” wrote Wendy Carlin, President of the Arts Committee in the ‘74 Kookaburra.
