Historical information

The Tuckshop was opened in the year of foundation, 1961, and run by volunteers in the Ladies' Auxillary. The ledgers used recorded the daily takings.

Significance

The Tuckshop Ledger, spanning from 1971 to 1984, is a valuable handwritten record documenting the daily financial takings of the Peninsula Grammar tuckshop during a formative period in the school’s history. Maintained by the Peninsula School Ladies Auxiliary—a dedicated group of volunteer parents—the ledger reflects the vital role of community involvement in supporting student life. As both a financial and social artefact, it offers insight into the operations of the tuckshop and the broader culture of volunteerism and parent engagement that helped shape the school’s environment during this era.
