A formal reception was also held at
Government House, Sydney, where sector
luminaries, key partners and political
leaders acknowledged and honoured KU’s
contribution and achievements.
Preparations for the 120th anniversary
uncovered many treasures, including a wealth
of beautiful images and stories from more
than a century of teaching, learning, courage
and innovation. Many of these treasures have
not been shared publicly before.
A unique photographic exhibition utilising multiplatform storytelling and mobile accessible webbased content was also produced, and will tour
a variety of public locations around the country
over the coming year. ‘As the twig bends...’ is
available through KU’s online store, along with
a number of other limited edition 120 Years
commemorative items and keepsakes.
To showcase some of these findings, KU
commissioned a commemorative pictorial
book ‘As the twig bends: 120 Years of
early education’.
