ACT Heritage Grant
8 September 2012
The Hall School Museum, under the auspices of the Village of Hall and District Progress Association (VHDPA), has been successful again in an application for the 2012-2013 ACT Heritage Grants. It has received $6140, which together with a contribution from the VHDPA, will enable the Hall School Museum Group to work on a project called "Present at Birth - Celebrating Canberra's Early Schools and Teachers" .
The project will feature an exhibition that will identify, research and tell the stories of Canberra's earliest schools and teachers - those that were inherited when the Federal Capital Territory boundary was drawn in 1911. It will also be developed in digital format for incorporation into ACT schools curricula.
The exhibition will be mounted to co-incide with UNESCO's World Teacher's Day in October 2013.
