ADOPT-A-GRAVE
at East Perth Cemeteries, Bronte St, East Perth
Background
Adopt-A-Grave brings together the skills of research and website technology with conservation, gardening and
maintenance.
Students from All Saints College taking part in the
program research and interpret an important period and theme of local history and are empowered to present this
information in a meaningful way to their peers and others.
They are
introduced to East Perth Cemeteries and trained in maintenance skills, by expert curatorial and heritage
staff. They learn research skills at the State Library of Western Australia and finally create web site information pages at
school. These are made available to the public through the National Trust website.
The students are encouraged to follow their own
interests and make the website information interesting for others of a similar age group.
