Foundation Day on 10 May 2021
was celebrated with staff and
students in a truly memorable
whole school assembly. The All
Hallows’ Story, from 1861 to the
present day, was narrated by
students and supported with a live,
visual timeline display curated by
the School Archives team.
Many of these school treasures
have never been seen by the
current students. Many have
been donated by past pupils.
The students performed a
dramatisation, wearing uniforms
from throughout the decades, and
using museum objects to tell All
Hallows’ story. The hall was abuzz
with excitement.
The School Archives team worked
with the Director of Mission and
the 160th Anniversary Committee
to ensure the objects on display
portrayed the story of the past 160
years as it unfolded. The original
1861 School Register, uniforms,
hats and gloves, educational
innovations, music and dancing,
and a boarder’s life were some of
the highlights of this remarkable
story. These visual representations
enthralled the students as they
brought their school story alive.
So much of that story can often
be forgotten, until memories
are recalled and shared, and
this unique assembly gave voice
and shape to these milestone
moments, beautifully shared by
students to students.
The Foundation Day assembly
really provided current students
and staff with an awareness of
the rich history of All Hallows’
School, and an explanation and
understanding of the school
traditions that are still valued
today.
It is special moments like these
that give me great pleasure to
showcase the work continually
being achieved in the School
Archives.

Anniversary, go to shop.ahs.qld.edu.au. All profits

Project ‘Paving the Path’.
