Public comments
So pleased to see you have these items in your collection. There were also two log books dating from 1910 until 1988. I presume they went to the Education Board when the school closed. They would be well worth while having as they had been kept regularly over the years. I have many photos from 1980 until 1986 if you are interested. I also have some digital tapes that the children recorded with the help of Judith Fife of the NZ Oral Archieves. Diana O’Brien, Principal 1980-85
