S1-S4 Jul-04 1949 P MORRIS Ian
The work in most cases was only fair. Writing and setting Feb-01 1949 S2 MORRIS Neil Alexander
out was untidy and careless. Oral response was weak. Feb-01 1949 P MORRIS Wayne
Towards the end of the year the children were trying hard
with the result that in all cases a large measure of Apr-26 1949 F2 PURU Hihi
improvement was shown, particularly with regard to writing Jun-07 1949 F2 SMITH Roy
and oral response. The children are now able to conduct their Apr-11 1949 S2 WAUGH Jessie
own debates and oral response is good. Writing and setting Apr-11 1949 S4 WAUGH Joy
Apr-11 1949 F1 WAUGH Robert
out is very fair to good.
Dec-17 1949 S1 WHIUNUI Graham
Reading: Oral Reading is fair. Silent Reading is good. For Feb-08 1949 S3 WHIUNUI Paraire (Sonny)
the most part the children are interested in reading, and class Feb-21 1949 P WHIUNUI Tai
readers and Country Library books are in great demand.
Sep-27 1949 P WILLIAMS Richard Roy Arthur

Fair. Spoken English is Weak.
Primer BRAND Richard
Spelling: Apart from three who are weak Spelling is Primer KENNY Andrew
generally Very Fair. Primer LITTLE Robert
Written Expression: Although a great deal of attention has Primer MORRIS Ian
been given to this subject it still remains weak throughout the Primer MORRIS Wayne

taken was appreciated and good results were obtained. Primer WHIUNUI Tai
Primer WILLIAMS Richard Roy Arthur

progress.
Std 1 MacDONALD Stancy
Speech Work: (No comment recorded) Std 1 MORRIS Neil
General: The children are keen worker and are making Std 1 WHIUNUI Graham
progress. Main consideration for 1949 must be [a] Plenty of Std 2 ARANUI Tui
sentence structure, [b] Further attention to writing and setting Std 2 ARANUI Whare
out, and [c] Plenty of tables drill, particularly in the lower Std 2 DAVIDSON Joyce
classes.

Std 3 JONES Myra
“There are some weaknesses which will Std 3 LITTLE Jeanette
require strong determined teaching to eradicate - Std 3 TOHE Queenie
writing (which is untidy) and oral response (which is Std 3 WHIUNUI Sonny
diffident). The school building, itself large and in good Std 4 DAVIDSON Valerie
condition, stands forlorn in unattractive surroundings. Std 4 HOLLAND Leslie
Seen on a wet day the grounds are almost a quagmire
with muddy water streaming down from the upper Std 4 LITTLE Marjorie
playground, across the asphalt assembly area to the Std 4 SIMMONS Ronald
Std 4 WAUGH Joy
school doorway.”
