HAVELOCK SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

The usual monthly meeting of the above was held in the schoolroom on Monday the 4th inst., Messrs J. Lovell, R. Horton and E. Dance being present.

A letter was received from the Education Board Wellington, granting a sum of £l3 16s Gd to carry out necessary repairs, (including 300 feet of guttering) to the school, prior to the building being painted, the work to be put in hand immediately. The committee have • experienced great difficulty in procuring a proper person to sweep the class-rooms regularly, this work new being, undertaken by the senior girls after school hours. It is felt, however, that it is not proper or desirable to continue this practice, and the committee now appeal to any kind lady or gentleman to relieve these young ladies of such duty. £l2 per year is granted by the Board for this work. The secretary (Mr E. A. Dance) will be pleased to receive the name of anyone who feels disposed to offer his or her services.

The master’s report showed an average of 84 on the roll. School books to the value of £3 9s 8d were supplied to the children at cost price. The newly appointed assistant (Miss C. Foley) took up her duties at the reopening, and is expected to prove a satisfactory addition to the staff.

Accounts to the amount of £1 wore passed for payment.
