General Note "Dulwich High strikes / Rae Desmond Jones and Fionie Stavert. Staff and students at Dulwich High went on strike on September 7 to protest against plans to close their school. During the strike students and teachers marched on local MP Andrew Refshauge's office over the 'unfair dismantling of our school through a process which is not transparent.' The strike on September 7 was led by a representation of Sir Henry Parkes [Peter Ayres] who strode at the head of the procession with his magnificent white beard and stovepipe hat. Speaking like a prophet of old, he compared his achievements in the 1880 Education Reform Act with the puny rhetoric of the present Government ... Fed Rep Pat Byrnes handed over a large bundle containing more than 1500 individual letters of protest collected from the area. Dr Refshauge wasn't present to receive them personally." -- Education Vol. 82 No. 10 (17 Sep 2001), p. 8.
