FULL TEACHING STAFF

Girls’ High School Position

“As students completing their courses in training colleges are not permitted to apply for teaching positions until October 1. there is a rush by principals to get their vacancies advertised in the October 1 gazette,” said Miss R. F. C. Tyndall, principal of Christchurch Girls’ High School, at a meeting of the board of governors last evening.

"We can now look forward to starting next year with a full staff, because, for the six vacancies advertised, we received 17 applications.”

Mrs C. Perkins, chairman of the board, said that the school should be complimented on being able to have such a good staff with which to begin the New Year.

The six appointments confirmed were: Miss C. P. Curran, homecraft; Mrs C. M. Maccoll, who is at present relieving at the school, science; Miss J. H. Murphy, science; Miss E. F. Marshall, history and social studies; Miss R. E Watson, English and languages: Miss B. M. Still, languages. Resignations

Resignations were received from Miss N. S. Brown and Mrs K. C Carter. Miss Brown, who is teacher of English, has completed 30 years in the profession and will retire at the end of the year. At present a teacher of languages, Mrs Carter, together with Miss Brown, joined the staff of Christchurch Girls’ High School in 1954. A grant of £3BB had been approved by the Education Department for converting the sink tops in the cookery room to stainless steel, it was reported. The new science block would be completed by the end of the month, except for the cookery room, where painting was now being done.
