✨ School Inspections and Reports
199
Convent School ... ... March 26 ... Present 91 ... Very satisfactory;
the order, tone and attainments are superior.
Christchurch Roman Catholic Boys’ School ... ... March 27 ... Present 107 ... Satisfactory.
There is a general complaint of the difficulty of obtaining supplies of suitable books and apparatus, owing to the want of a catalogue, and the scarcity in the depot.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
J. P. RESTELL,
Inspector of Schools.
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
(April 2—May 6, 1872.)
INSPECTOR’S MONTHLY REPORT.
To THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit a report on the schools examined, and other business during the month.
Fernside ... ... April 3 ... Present 31 ... The school has not yet filled up again since the harvest; but a large increase in the attendance may be expected. The attainments of those present were satisfactory.
Cust ... ... April 4 ... Present 29 ... As above.
Eyretown ... ... April 5 ... No school, very wet day, the registers and arrangement satisfactory.
Pigeon Bay ... ... April 16 ... Present 21 ... The standard of attainment has gone back considerably; this is now one of the most backward schools.
Duvauchelles ... ... April 17 ... Present 35 ... Order, fair; registers satisfactory. The attainments are fairly proportionable to the ages of the children of a low average.
Okain’s Bay ... ... April 18 ... Present 37 ... Very satisfactory.
Lavereux Bay ... ... April 19 ... Inspected proposed schoolroom; found it nearly completed, and sufficient for a small school, if one can be got together, the building is private property; the proprietor’s children have been taught by a governess; at present there is only one child of another family likely to attend. The three who had received instruction were progressing fairly. The governess is competent to carry on their instruction for some time; the rest are mostly above 13 years of age, and have had little, if any, previous instruction. It is very doubtful whether they could attend regularly, except at a night school, and in that case a master would be requisite.
Akaroa ... ... April 22 ... Present 41 ... The attendance on the increase; attainments low, but improving.
St. Andrew’s, Christchurch ... ... April 30 ... Present 41 ... Attainments satisfactory, but the premises and dwelling-house require considerable improvement.
