Como Historic House & Garden is one of the last surviving 19th Century grand houses of Melbourne.
Students can compare the life of 19th Century children and families to their own experiences on a tour of the house where the lives of the 19th Century children are brought to life. They can learn about the hardships of working life in the servants quarters as well as handling and examining old domestic utensils and objects to work out their original purpose. Como provides a unique record of an upper class family’s lifestyle in early Melbourne. The original kitchens and servants’ quarters offer an insight into the daily lives of their serving staff. |

The cost for this event is $12 per student. Families need to make payment for this amount through COMPASS.Due to uncertainty regarding school operations due to COVID-19, families have not been charged an ‘excursion levy’ this year and we will instead be asking parents to pay for activities such as this incursion on a ‘pay as you go’ basis. This activity supports our classroom learning.
