The Senior Technical Schools Athletics Association ‘Herald Shield’ is one of many timber and metal repoussé commissions undertaken by students and staff at the Ballarat Technical Art School. The School was known for the quality of its art metal work which was applied to product, interior and commemorative designs. Between 1915 and 1936 Wilfred Kenneth (c1883-1957) taught boys and girls at preparatory and senior levels, including the ‘Art Metal Work and Repoussé’ industrial design specialisation. During World War I, Kenneth oversaw the training of repatriated soldiers which catalysed into a new, a successful art metal business, the Decorative Metal Craft Company in Chancery Lane, Ballarat. The shield was given by the proprietors of The Herald.Timber and metal repousse shield listing winning teams from 1918-1940. 1918 - Ballarat 1919 - Ballarat 1920 - Working Men's College Melbourne (now RMIT) 1921 - No contest 1922 - Swinburne 1923 - Ballarat 1924 - Ballarat 1925 - Ballarat 1926 - Ballarat 1927 - Geelong 1928 - Maryborough 1929 - Bendigo 1930 - Bendigo 1931 - Working Man's College 1932 - Wonthaggi 1933 - M.T.C. 1934 - Ballarat 1935 - Ballarat 1936 - Ballarat 1937 - No Contest 1938 - Ballarat 1939 - Ballarat 1940 - Geelong Above list engraved into metalherald shield, athletics, working mans college, rmit, ballarat school of mines, trophy, commission, art metal, repousse, ballarat technical art school, wilfred kenneth

An important part of apprenticeship training involved building detailed models using required techniques. This model was constructed by a Ballarat School of Mines student enrolled in the Plumbing course. This model of a roof and chimney was made by a plumbing student in the early days of the School of Mines Ballarat. The School of Mines was a trade and mining school located in the historic gold rush town of Ballarat. The model is made from 3 Ply timber.
