SPECIAL REPORT ON THE PROPOSED KAIAPOI ROMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOL.
The school has been in full work since the beginning of the present quarter.
It was inspected on the 29th ult.; there were present eighteen children, mostly strangers to me, they having attended the other schools very little or not at all.
The site is a suitable one, but in the immediate neighbourhood of the other schools.
The building was formerly known as Hutchinson’s store; the front room, 24 by 12, and 8 feet in height, is available for school use. This room is well-lined, and has a warm, north-westerly aspect. But it has at present neither fireplace, stove, nor other provision for warming the room in winter. The Committee were about making some such provision.
The desk, forms, books, and apparatus are sufficient.
The children were clean and orderly at the time of my unexpected visit.
They had been carefully taught by a Mistress understanding her work.
I have forwarded a certificate of the fitness of the Mistress.
J. P. RESTELL,
Inspector of Schools.
