TE ARO SCHOOL
In his report, ,the headmaster of Te Aro School (Mr. J. H. Malcolm) stated that on 31st March, 1916,' there were' 872 children on the rolls of the schools, , while fop the corresponding date of this year there were 896. During the twelve months 316 children wero admitted, and 292 were withdrawn. The average at-' tendance for the .year was 798, or, apfroximately, S3 per cent. Such a per-, centage spoke volumes for the children and their parents. During the year several improvements in the schools and about the playgrounds had been effected. The committee deserved, at the hands of ■ the householders, the greatest praise for the work they had • done to improve matters. The- committee had asked for a record, of the names of the soldiers who attended the school in the ' past. The, task was a big one. In a school that had admitted sinco the opening some 30,000 children, one had to realise 1 that many names would be omitted from the honour .board. How-1 ever, the staff and committee would use | their utmost endeavours to make the list, as complete as possible. He wished to | express his best thanks to his staff for | their co-operation and assistance during the year, and also to the school committee. ,
