A century of ambition, faith, and feminine achievement unfolds in And, As We Journey: A History of Korowa, Anglican Girls' School 1890–1990, Pam Chessell's authoritative chronicle of one of Melbourne's most distinguished independent schools. From its humble Anglican origins in 1890 through to its centenary celebrations in 1990, the narrative traces the lives of the students, teachers, and visionaries who shaped Korowa into a beacon of girls' education in Victoria, weaving together institutional milestones, social change, and the enduring spirit of its community. Chessell presents a rich tapestry of Australian educational and social history, illustrating how a single school both reflected and influenced the evolving role of women in Australian society across ten transformative decades. Drawing on archival records, personal testimonies, and period photographs, her meticulous research gives voice to generations of Korowa women, leaving the reader to wonder just how profoundly a school community can shape the course of individual lives — and a nation.
