WEST SCHOOL
NEW WOODEN BUILDING TO BE ERECTED CONCRETE STRUCTURE TO BE DEMOLISHED. DECISION OF THE MINISTER. The concrete Masterton West School building, which was closed about a week ago on account of its unsatisfactory condition, is to be demolished, and a new wooden building is to be erected. Advice to this effect has been received by Mr J. Robertson, M.P., from the Minister of Education, the 'Hon P. Fraser. It is understood that the new building will be erected as soon as possible and that it will be of the open-air type, on the lines of the recently-construct-ed Lansdowne School. Following on the decision not to permit children to use the old building, the pupils of West School, except those in the primer classes, who are accommodated in a wooden annexe, some distance away from the main’ building, were transferred to Wairarapa College, where temporary accommodation is being provided. Standards 1., 11., and 111., however, will return to the West School grounds as soon as two portable classrooms from the Hutt are ready for occupation.
