Considerable additions have been made to the equipment of the schools in the way of provision for science teaching. At the Girls' School, all but two of the candidates presented for the va ious examinations at the end of the year were successful. Apart from the Senior Free Places gained, five passed Junior Civil S3rvice, one gained a Senior Education Board Scholarship, and seven out of eight candidates passed Matriculation. At the Boys' School the results of the last annual examinations were very satisfactory. Fourteen boys matriculated, two gaining University Scholarships, while four others gained credit passes. All seventeen candidates presented for Junior Civil Service competition passed, eight of them with credit. D. Sutherland, Chairman.
