Miss Matilda Brereton Miss Matilda Brereton, a former headmistress of Queen Victoria School in Auckland, and a mission worker among the Maori people for many years, died last December in Nelson, aged 90. Miss Brereten was born in Ireland and came to New Zealand with her parents in 1875. At the age of 17 she joined the Anglican Maori Mission and nursed in the Waikato, King Country and Northland. She was appointed headmistress of Queen Victoria School in 1921, a post she held for 15 years. After this she returned to the Maori Mission in Northland, based at Kaikohe, although she returned to the school in a relieving capacity for a period. Miss Brereton was well into her 70's before she retired to live in Nelson. She continued to live an active life and when she broke a hip about five years ago she took up the task of translating books into braille.
