Ballarat Heritage Week Involvement

As everyone associated with Dana Street knows, Nathan Spielvogel is a beloved former leader of this school. Nathan was also the founder and first president of the Ballarat Historical Society. (BHS)

Over the weekend of 18th & 19th May, during Heritage Week, the BHS will be holding an exhibition of photos in the Barkly Square Community Hall. Part of the exhibition will be a colouring corner where visitors can colour a sketch of an early Ballarat building. The sketches have been based on drawings originally done by Nathan Spielvogel.

To help promote this event, Dana Street pupils were invited to colour in copies of a caricature of Nathan Spielvogel and these colourful images will be used to decorate the exhibition space. Thank you to all the pupils who have already completed their colouring sheets. They look amazing! Please come along with your children to see them and our other displays and enjoy colouring your own sketch of a historic Ballarat building.

The BHS values its historic links to your school and is looking forward to welcoming pupils, teachers and parents from the school to view our exhibition in May.

Details: Community Hall, Barkly Square, 18th & 19th May 10:00 am – 3:00 am.

Marion Littlejohn, President Ballarat Historical Society.
