The new school, which is now ready for occupation, replaces the old one which was condemned as unsafe on account of earthquake damage. Complete with fine classrooms and accessories and built on open-air lines, the school embodies all the latest facilities in modern school design.
Following on the closing of the Wangaehu School, the children formerly attending that school will be transported to the Lansdowne School. This will increase the roll number by about 20.
