Timeline
Dr Alice Whitley (6 February 1913 – 15 August 1990) was an Australian chemist and educator.
Whitley focused on the science education of women and was for 50 years a faculty member at her alma mater Methodist Ladies' College (now known as the MLC School).
She worked as a science teacher and headmistress.
Whitley served as president of the Australian Science Teachers Association and the Association of Heads of Independent Girls' Schools.
Alice Whitley was born on 6 February 1913 to Alfred and May Whitley in Stanmore, New South Wales.
She attended Methodist Ladies' College, Burwwod, commencing in 1921 and was Dux of College in 1930.
She earned a degree in Science from the University of Sydney.
Whitley then taught mathematics at Brighton College, Manly and at SCEGGS Moss Vale, and was a science and mathematics teacher at MLC from 1941 to 1952.
From 1952 to 1954, Whitley attended the University of London where she earned a PhD for her thesis in chemistry before returning to MLC as Head of Science and Deputy Headmistress from 1955 to 1959.
Whitley actively promoted the importance of science education through her involvement with the Australian Science Teachers Association (ASTA), where she was president from 1956 to 1957, and vice president from 1958 to 1959.
She was a member of the Commonwealth Science Advisory Committee for State Secondary Schools and helped formulate the science syllabus for the new NSW Higher School Certificate.
As an academic and professional in her own right, she contributed to scientific journals and co-authored two books.
She was Headmistress of MLC from 1960 until 1972.
Whitley also advocated for a balanced education in particular with regards to art education, sport (by establishing a sport and physical education program in 1963) and the Girl Guides movement.
Whitley was president of the Association of Heads of Independent Girls Schools (AHIGS) in 1963.
Whitley died aged 77 years old.
At Speech Night in 1969 was quoted as lamenting the "lackadaisical attitude of a permissive society which places too much importance on examination results and not enough on the continuing process of learning" and stressed her commitment to the sports program.
She was the last Headmistress before 1972, when the positions of principal and headmistress were amalgamated.
She was an unkind woman, who unfairly punished those pupils whose views she felt did not suitably align with the rigid Christian principles held by the school.
A memorial service was held in her honour in Potts Hall at MLC on 25 August 1990.
The plant molecular biologist Elizabeth Dennis, an MLC Old Girl, said at the time of her death that Whitley had been an inspiring high school chemistry teacher.
