The old pen and ink will return to Ardmona Primary School classrooms during Education Week.
Students will look at education through a historical lens as the school celebrates 150 years of public education.
Principal Jean Varty said it was about engaging children from the “past to present”.
“We will learn about the history of schools and schooling for the kids and participate in some activities where they're experiencing practical activities in an old school setting,” she said.
“We'll set up our classrooms as the olden days.”
Whether it’s old-time clothes or getting back to chalkboards, students will immerse themselves in the past.
“There will be dress-ups, we’ll be looking into local history and past families,” Ms Varty said.
The school will also go on a field trip to the Mooroopna Historical Society.
Ms Varty said Education Week was important to provide different perspectives for students.
“It allows the kids to see the changes that have happened and how things are very different, which gives them a perspective on their own learning,” she said.
“Situations like sitting in rows, that's obviously very different to the interactive way we teach these days.
“Education Week is all about engaging the students in education and showing them a different way of things being done.”
