John R. Cole presents a meticulously researched institutional history that traces the school's founding ideals, its formative struggles, and its remarkable evolution across seven decades — capturing the personalities, traditions, and pivotal moments that shaped generations of young men.\n\nBeyond a straightforward school chronicle, this work illuminates the broader social and cultural currents of Australian life, from the challenges of two World Wars and the Great Depression through to the social transformations of the late twentieth century. Cole writes with authority and affection, weaving together archival records, personal recollections, and institutional milestones into a narrative that speaks to anyone who has passed through Churchie's gates — or who is simply fascinated by the way great schools forge character, community, and identity. What does it truly mean to make a man, and can a single institution hold that answer across 75 years of history?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49342761959643,"sku":"2026100008747-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/11736d0a-07c0-40aa-94b7-6552f0939057.png?v=1790048736","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008747-secondhand-the-making-of-men-a-history-of-churchie-1912-1986","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
