HAVELOCK SCHOOL.

The annual distribution of awards to pupils of the Havelock School took place at the School on Friday afternoon, in the presence of a good number of parents and friends of the scholars. Prior to the distribution several action songs were sung by the children, Miss Walker contributed a very pretty song, Misses Wells and Rae gave a duet, and Miss Rene Congdon and Master Leslie Walker gave recitations. Rev. Mr Sfcace then handed the books to the children, after delivering a brief address having for its moral the advantages of always doing one’s best; he also urged upon the children ,the prime necessity of regular and constant attendance at school. The Headmaster (Mr Irwin) thanked the parents for tbeir attendance that afternoon, and also for having sent their children to school so regularly. He mentioned that the average since the school re-commenced was 97 per cent, of the roll-number, A verse of the National Anthem concluded these proceedings, and the visitors were then regaled with after-noon-tea.
