This year, 2022, marks 150 years since Victoria\u2019s public education system was founded \u2013 the first in Australia \u2013 and a local school has contributed to the archives.<\/p>\n

A dedicated Victorian Government website will feature the 483 original government schools from 1872, alongside every other government school established since, displaying a selection of digitally preserved historical records from the past 150 years.<\/p>\n

The site will include school history summaries, enrolment registers, and photos.<\/p>\n

Over 6,500 boxes of historical documents and items have already been collected and digitised from schools across Victoria, including Bacchus Marsh Primary School \u2013 the oldest school in Victoria, opening in 1850.<\/p>\n

Bacchus Marsh Primary School\u2019s Principal, Melinda Williams, said the school was proud of its history, and long connection with the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cHistory is extremely important to us \u2013 we have some lovely boards along the front of our school that create a narrative. If members of the community happen to be walking along the front of our school in Lerderderg Street, they can stop and take a moment to read some of the history,\u201d Ms Williams told the Moorabool News.<\/p>\n
