MAORI GIRLS’ COLLEGE
Presbyterians To Seek £140,000
A New Zealand - wide appeal is to be made to Presbyterian church members in 1964 and 1965 for £140,000 to enlarge Turakina Maori Girls’ College, the Presbyterian General Assembly decided on Thursday evening. At present the college caters for 58 students, and the first stage of the additions will provide a further 120 students. The joint report of the Maori Synod and the General Assembly says that a college of 58 students: could not “fulfil the demands of our day,” and that with the advent of the Maori Education Foundation and a rapid increase in the Maori population “we can do no other as a church than meet the demands of the day.” The assembly also agreed to the setting up of a Turakina Maori Girls’ College Endowment Fund.
