Turakina College Expansion Planned The Presbyterian Church of New Zealand has plans to expand the Turakina Maori Girls' College at Marton, and is making a Dominion-wide appeal for £70,000. When the project is completed, Turakina will cater for 200 girls, compared with 58 as at present. The College does not exist merely as another Church boarding school. It is considered to be the greatest missionary work ever undertaken by the Presbyterian Church, and the girls there are still trained to fit themselves to become Christian mothers and good housekeepers. As one spokesman said: “Turakina has given, and will continue to give the Maori girl a shelter where she can develop herself, grow confident in what she is, give her a pride in her own culture and language and most important equip her to meet the world on a more equal footing than would otherwise have been the case. This is true racial integration.”
