WHAKATANE SCHOOL: NOTES AND LESSONS FOR HOME TEACHING

The assignments of work that have been received by the Whakatane District High School from the Education Board, have all been posted out to pupils. In a covering letter the Board informed the teachers that insufficient supplies had been received from the Department. This means that some people will not have received woi’k yet. It will be sent out immediately it comes to hand. Very helpful timetables have appeared in the Auckland papers, and pupils should follow these. Post your first week’s work on Tuesday, as the postal authorities do not desire a large mail on Friday or Monday. Some classes will shortly receive spelling lists. These are to take the place of the lists in the assignments. Learn one group a week, and look after your lists, as you will need these when you return to school.
