HOHEPA HOME

Open Day And Stall Planned

The Canterbury committee of the New Zealand Trust Board for Home School for Curative Education will open its Grace and Shirley Hohepa Home School in Cashmere in August. The committee has arranged for a “view the property” day to be held at the school this Saturday, when the school will be open for inspection. To help raise funds for the school, the secretary of the committee (Mrs C. E. van Asch), has arranged for a shop day to be held in Rangiora this Friday on the lawn frontage of Mrs E. M. Hunnibell’s property at 131 High street. The stall is an annual function for which Mrs van Asch usually seeks goods and support by personally communicating with many Rangiora residents.

Because the shop day this year comes at a time when Mrs van Asch is already heavily committed by the arrangements for the open day at the new school property, she has been unable to approach those who have so generously supported the day in the past. This year gifts for the stall may be left at the home of Mrs van Asch or at the stall early on Friday morning. Discussing the new school in Cashmere, Mrs van Asch said it would be the second in New Zealand and the first in the South Island. The committee recently bought another two acre and a half property in Barrington street, adjoining the Cashmere High School. The Barrington street property had been bought to provide for future expansion.
