Congestion At Infant School
Possible Remedies Suggested To Committee In the Headmaster’s report to the Whakatane School Committee at its first meeting on Wednesday night the item that caused most discussion was that concerning the cramped and unhealthy conditions he said prevailed in the infant school at the present time. It was thought by the meeting that with winter coming on something should be done to remove the small children who are at present situated in the draughty corridor of the infant building. A suggestion by the chairman, Mr L. D. Lovelock, was that permission be obtained from the Education Board to have the unused sheltersheds converted to warm and convenient class rooms. If this permission could be obtained, he went on, he thought that the committee might ask the parents of the children in the Infant School to form a working bee and get the conversion done as quickly as possible. Another suggestion that the old school at Fenton’s Mill be negotiated for with a view to its removal and re-erection at Whakatane is being looked into.
