During the year Mr. G. Wheeler resigned on account of ill health, and his subsequent death is much regretted by the Trustees, who warmly appreciated his conscientious and valued services. Bishop Wallis also resigned on account of ill health, and the Trustees desire to place on record their high estimation of the valuable assistance rendered by him in carrying out the work of the trust. The Bishop of Wellington and Mr. Thomas Allison were appointed to fill the vacancies. Mr. Gifford Marshall, whose term of office expired, was reappointed. The Trustees wish to note that the year under review was rendered memorable by the completion of the building scheme and the transfer of the school to its new quarters. The first term of the year ended the occupancy of the old College. The new buildings were officially opened on Easter Tuesday last by His Excellency the Governor, Lord Islington, and were duly occupied at commencement of second term, 1911.
