PEEC Historical Hire Kit
Recreate an authentic colonial classroom for your next school celebration.
The PEEC Historical Hire Kit contains items which are generally difficult to obtain. We suggest you use these items to enhance your own collection of memorabilia as part of an authentic display.
The items are intended for use in a designated space, possibly in a roped-off area or classroom where people can sit and participate in the experience of an old classroom. Children can enjoy sourcing their own costumes in keeping with the period.
The kit contains:
-
1–4 (as required) long wooden desks – each seats 5 students
- 1–4 wooden forms (2.3m long)
- 1 teacher's desk and chair
- 1 wooden chart stand
- 1 blackboard and easel
In brown box:
- 10 pen holders with nibs
- 10 ink wells (plastic)
- 4 slates
- 4 slate pencils

In calico bag:
- 1 ABC Chart (on board backing)
- 1 Attendance Chart (on board backing)
- 1 teacher's blotter for desk
- 1 A4 'Good Manners Chart' (on board backing)
Additional items available for sale:

Transport requirements
A standard
7 x 5 trailer is sufficient to carry 1 full kit. You will also need to bring
rachet straps or
tie down ropes and
a tarp to protect the kit during transport. Please note that we cannot provide these items and they are required for kit pickup. Due to the size and weight of some items, we also require hirers to send
two people to load and unload kit items.
