Jubilee Jottings - 1941

1941 seems to have been an interesting year for the school. Three classes opened with 51, 53 and 52 pupils each’ while other classes had 30-40 pupils.

The Centennial of Taranaki was celebrated by an excursion to New Plymouth to view a reenactment of the landing on the beach by the English settlers.

Buckets, filled with sand, were ready as emergency precautions. The sand was to put on incendiary bombs if they were dropped.

At the end of the year, Mr Furrie was farewelled after 20 years service. A presentation of a canteen of cutlery was made.
