The Peninsula campus of Monash University is Monash's third-largest campus, with close to 4000 students and almost 300 staff.[1] The campus is located at the "Gateway to the Mornington Peninsula", in the Bayside suburb of Frankston. It continues to specialise in its historical strengths of health and early childhood education. Monash teaching in primary education, nursing and physiotherapy are all based at Peninsula Campus. The campus offers programs from undergraduate through to PhD level. It has research strengths in health and well-being, education and business. At any one time, there are around 100 higher degree by research students at Peninsula Campus.
The Peninsula Campus of Monash University was originally a teacher's college, Frankston Teachers' College, later known as State College of Victoria Frankston, with teachers graduating there from 1960 until 1981.[2][3] State College of Victoria (SCV) was established in 1973, and was the co-ordinating body for teacher education in Victoria. The first teacher training colleges were established in the 1920s at Ballarat, Bendigo, and Melbourne. More colleges opened in the 1950s and 60s, in Geelong, Toorak, Burwood, Coburg, and Frankston. (Around 1981 SCV was abolished, and its functions transferred to Victorian Post-Secondary Education Commission (VPSEC), along with those of the Victoria Institute of Colleges.[4])
During this time, it educated many teachers who went on to become quite well known in children's education, such as author Paul Jennings.[citation needed]
In 1982, the college merged with the Caulfield Institute of Technology to form the Chisholm Institute of Technology. By the end of the decade, federal government reforms to higher education in Australia made it clear that smaller degree-providing institutions would have to merge with larger ones. As a result, both Caulfield and Peninsula Chisholm campuses merged with Monash University in 1990, as part of the University's massive expansion. During the 1990s, Monash Vice-Chancellor Mal Logan was able to secure tens of millions of dollars worth of government grants to undertake an expansion and redevelopment of the Peninsula Campus.[citation needed]
