Have your say Jean Ferguson Scholarship Fund Graduates Remember - Centenary Coffee TableBook QUT Alumni - Special Recognition 2013 Executive MembersThis Chapter evolved from the early efforts of a small group of graduates who met in 2000. Their motivation was to create events and publications that brought together graduates and others who valued what BKTC had contributed to education in Queensland. This was a time when political, academic and administrative players were bringing diverse views into debates about future directions for early childhood programs. The group encouraged BKTC graduates, teachers who were at work when care and education programs for young children were evolving in collaboration with families throughout Queensland, to share their experiences. In 2011 the Chapter celebrated the centenary of the opening of BKTC in 1911. After a very busy year, the Chapter Executive is now considering directions for the next few years. Tasks underway are:

At our centenary dinner held on the 1st June, we were surprised and absolutely delighted when the Vice Chancellor, Peter Coaldrake, announced that QUT would match $ for $ the moneys in the Fund. Suddenly our fund held over $22,000 and the goal of achieving a viable amount to establish a scholarship now seems achievable.
