Historical information

This hat was worn by a Year 4 student Madelyn from the Dale Christian School who visited History House on 3 March 2022 with their class to do the Nidja Noongar Boodjar program. During their visit the student managed to loose their hat and left it at the museum. A few days later museum staff found the hat and it was placed into the lost and found where it lived, forgotten over six months.
Dale Christian School, was founded in 1983 as a Congregational Church based school and was originally located in the former Armadale Congregational Church hall and Manse on Church Avenue in Armadale. In 1985 to accommodate its rapid growth the school purchased the former Dale Drive In on Forrest Road, Armadale where they were able to construct a new school. In 2002 a middle school for year 7 and 8 students was opened. not long after this students were able to attend the school all the way to Year 12.
