Sir Harold Wyndham (27 June 1903 – May 1988) was Director-General of Education in New South Wales between 1952 and 1968. He chaired the committee whose report (referred to as "The Wyndham Report"〔Geoff Hasler (9 November 1961) Reluctant director moves on Sydney Morning Herald〕) led to the Education Act 1961 which completely re-organised secondary education in NSW. ==Early life and background== Wyndham was a great-grandson of Wadham Wyndham.〔Wyndham, H.S. "College Wyndhams in Australia"; private collection〕 His grandfather Alexander Wyndham (d.1915) arrived in Australia in the 1850s with a sizeable inheritance but within 20 years the fortune had been spent, lent or otherwise lost. Harold Stanley Wyndham was born in Forbes, New South Wales in June 1903. His mother died in June 1908, a short time after the arrival of her third child, Norman. His stepmother urged that the family be moved to Sydney to ensure the children could receive a more rounded education. His sister Kathleen founded Wadham Preparatory School and his brother Norman became a noted Sydney-based surgeon. Harold married Beatrice Margaret (Margaret) Grieve in 1936 and moved to the Sydney suburb of Roseville in 1937 where the couple raised three sons, Philip, John and David, all of whom attended the academically selective North Sydney Boys High School. Wyndham died of a heart attack in Roseville in May 1988, leaving his wife Margaret, three sons and five grandchildren. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harold Wyndham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
