Kotahitanga Cub Pack The Kotahitanga Cub Pack In November 1965 a Wolf Cub Pack was started at Marton Junction, eight Maori and three Pakeha boys meeting in the Kotahitanga Community Centre Hall. After a year the numbers increased to 20, 13 being Maori. As well as the usual Cub activities, the boys have learnt Maori stick, string, and hand games and have made several educational visits. This photograph was taken during an outing in the bush. The older boys are now ready to be Scouts, and a troop is starting in the same area.

Visit to Te Aute When travelling to Wairoa in February, the Minister of Maori Affairs, Mr Hanan, paid his first visit to Te Aute College. During lunch Mr Hanan congratulated the boys, saying that for a school with only one hundred pupils, their rate of 16 School Certificate and four University Entrance passes last year was unparalleled in New Zealand. This year, with 20 boys in the lower sixth and two in the upper sixth forms, more examination successes were expected. Mr Hanan is pictured with the headmaster, Mr N. O. Vickridge, and some of the sixth from boys including some Solomon Islanders. — a ‘Herald-Tribune’ photograph
