Reade, for the Education Department, said the children had been on the roll of the Te Haepaenga School. When it was closed, they did not attend school for 18 months. They enrolled at the Matahina school after that for a time and had not attended school anywhere since. Correspondence had not been answered. Te Haepaenga was 22 miles from
