| Welcome to Chiron College Network |
 Chiron College Network is a private membership site. It has been set up so that past students, teachers, directors, benefactors and friends can reconnect, share their stories and provide information that will help to put in writing the history of Chiron College and its contribution to innovative education in Sydney.It was originally MBC Secondary School, part of Metropolitan Business College in Dalley Street near Circular Quay. In 1969 John Welch, Philip Benham and Rosalind MacFarlane Reid who were teaching there negotiated with management to change the school from a coaching college into an innovative senior secondary school. In 1971 the name was changed to Chiron College.
In 1973 with the help of MBC, especially from the Serisier family, Chiron became an independent school. It had temporary residence in Macquarie Place until September 1973 when with the generous backing by Charles and Barbara Blackman it moved in Birchgrove.
It is now over 40 years since the first students enrolled. Many have lost touch over the years but are keen to reconnect and share reminiscences as well as stories of their lives since then.
The three teachers (John Welch, Philip Benham & Rosalind MacFarlane Reid) who started the college said its success or failure would not really be known until many years later when the students could look back and make their own accessments.
It seems like a good time to find out!
