ERA SCHOOL

Era was an alternative or 'progressive' co-educational secondary school that opened in Melbourne in February 1971. Drawing inspiration from A.S. Neill's Summerhill experimental school in England, the most obvious difference between Era and traditional schools was the relaxed disciplinary environment in which students could wear what they want, call teachers by their first names, attend only classes of their own choosing (or none at all ) and take part in much of the school's decision making process.
