Marbury School was a private non-denominational co-educational R-12〔R-12 = Reception and years 1 to 12 - students aged 4/5 to 17/18 - both primary and secondary levels.〕 progressive school located at Aldgate, South Australia. Marbury was conceived as an incorporated non-profit association with a Board of Governors, who declared at the school’s outset that it was a "co-educational, non-sectarian, independent, non-competitive, non-authoritarian school." The name is a portmanteau of Margaret (Edhouse), Burt (Dodd), and Harry (Edhouse) who were the original founders. Margaret was the headmistress, and the Dodds provided much of the capital to purchase the grounds. It was a small school, with one class per year, and only about 15 students per class. In the period 1972-2004, the school was located at 160 Mount Barker Road, Aldgate, in the property that was also known as Wairoa, Aldgate, and surrounding properties. This area has since been taken over by The Hills Montessori school, where their secondary (or "Wairoa" campus is present) The school's main building (Wairoa) appears as the home of Col. and Mrs. Fitzhubert in the film ''Picnic at Hanging Rock''.〔http://www.visitmacedonranges.com/natural-attractions/hanging-rock/picnic-at-hanging-rock/〕 ==References== * http://www.privateschoolsguide.com/view-user-profile/marbury-school-aldgate-sa.html * (Marbury School 1971-2004: How did it start, why did it finish? ) (Internet Archive Mirror ) * (Marbury film, 1988 part 1 ); (part 2 ) 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「Marbury School, Aldgate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
