Museum curator Tim Sargeant was a student at All Saints' College and has collected artefacts that are now on display at the junior school; the oldest piece is a trophy from 1876.

"I have a passion for history and a passion for All Saints," Mr Sargeant said.

"I came here in 1954 and I haven't left."

The majority of the historic items showcased in the museum are Mr Sargeant's and he is very thankful the school has allowed him to display them.

School uniforms, trophies and medallions, the 1962 prefects detention book and even the headmaster's cane are just some of the items in the museum.

"A lot of these artefacts came from my own private collection," Mr Sargeant said.

"I've been collecting items for probably 60-odd years and we found a home for all of them.

"We've had tremendous support from the current headmaster and the school council. They've allocated us three rooms here and another three rooms upstairs for the archives."

Mr Sargeant said the museum is a great way to teach the students about All Saints' history.

"We've got so much history here and it's not worth a lot of money but it is irreplaceable; the items we have here are just incredible," he said.

"We use it as a teaching aid for the younger students; [they] come in here and it's really good for them to see where they've come from."

Two of the rooms in the museum are named in honour of past principals: L.G.H Watson, an early headmaster, and Edwin Bean, the school's second headmaster.

The third main room is the portrait room, which features "the gallery of notable".

The gallery holds a number of framed portraits along the wall featuring past students who have accomplished great things.

Included in the gallery of notable are Arthur Charles Hall, a Victoria Cross winner, and Gavin Long, a World War Two historian.
