Children at Myers Park Free Kindergarten with the Director, Mrs Challis, follow the story of ‘Peter and the Wolf’ in pictures as they listen to it on a record. Residence while Training Hostels: In Auckland where I trained, we do not have a hostel of our own, and it is the responsibility of each applicant to make her own arrangements for accommodation. However, five hostels usually have some accommodation available at the beginning of each year. Intending applicants should apply early for this accommodation. Private board: A certain amount of private board is available. Late in January, an advertisement is inserted in the local newspapers, and a staff member inspects the accommodation offered. Those who have difficulty in making their own arrangements may contact the accommodation officer at the college. Flatting: The Board of Studies of the Kindergarten College does not approve of flatting, as in the past problems have arisen when girls have had difficulty in studying or have been ill. Should parents decide to allow their daughters to live in a flat their written approval is required, and the College accepts no further responsibility. Promotion In addition to positions as Directors or Assistant Directors, further opportunities are available to girls of ability and educational achievement. These include senior and supervising positions, positions on College Staffs and with the Department of Education. The selection committee meets in the third term each year to interview applicants, so if you are interested, apply now!

Hui Amorangi at Whangarei A youth forum was an unusual feature of Whangarei's Hui Amorangi, held on 4–5 March, pupils from Whangarie Boys' and Girls' High Schools and Kamo High School taking part. Guest of honour was the Governor-General, Sir Bernard Fergusson, who was welcomed by the Bishop of Aotearoa, the Rt Revd W. A. Panapa, and the Bishop of Auckland, the Rt Revd E. A. Gowing. During his speech, Sir Bernard showed the 800 people at the welcoming ceremony two patus, given him a year apart by the same man. The first had been for the Governor to use in bringing Maori and Pakeha together and the second to try to bring the Chruches together. Many people helped with preparations for the hui, animals were donated, and all worked hard to make it a success.
