Heathcote Valley School ... Aug. 25 ... Present 33 ... The school has been conducted under great difficulties, but the general results are highly creditable; the degree of accuracy above the average.
Arrangements were made for the examination of one candidate for a mastership, who did not, however, attend, according to appointment.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
J. P. RESTELL,
Inspector of Schools.
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
(SEPTEMBER 5—OCTOBER 2, 1871.)
INSPECTOR’S MONTHLY REPORT.
To THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit a Summary Report on the schools examined during the month.
St. John’s Girls’ School ... Sept. 6 ... Present 38 ... Very satisfactory as to the discipline and attainments; but the schoolroom is not sufficiently separated from the Boys’ school, and it is very cold and drafty.
St. Luke’s School ... Sept. 7 ... Present 67 boys. A very satisfactory school; the discipline, order, and tone good; the attainments above the average; the improved and improving efficiency attest the devotedness of the master to his work. This is the more satisfactory because the master has been educated and “trained” in the Province.
St. Michael’s ... Sept. 8 ... Present 70 ... The attendance increasing; school improving.
St. John’s Boys’ ... Sept. 12 ... Present 77 ... The crowded state of the room hinders organization; good order is, however, well kept up. The attainments are creditable; the written papers neat, but in some instances very inaccurate.
Pigeon Bay School ... Sept. 19 ... Present 26 ... Inferior. The state of the school does not warrant the continuance of the present high bonus, unless superior efficiency can be attained.
Duvauchelle’s Bay ... Sept. 20 ... Present 36 ... Improving.
Robinson’s Bay ... Sept. 20 ... Present 22 ... Satisfactory.
Akaroa School ... Sept. 21 ... Present 42 ... Improving.
