✨ School Inspection Report
252
Mr. Borthwick, in division No. 3, is a very successful teacher of the youngest classes.
The assistants in each division are also well suited for their respective departments.
But the senior class in division 2 is more advanced than the lowest class in division 1. These classes should change places.
There are also in divisions 2 and 3 two classes, each reading the same class-book. They should unite in one class in whichever room there is sufficient space for them.
Two children were found in the old Infants’ School under one teacher. This room might be turned to better account.
Woodend ........ August 20 ... Present 47 ... Considerably improved since last examination.
Harewood Road ... August 22 ... Present 35 (average 34). The number in attendance falls far short of the expectations of the promoters of the school. There are at present few elder girls in attendance. A permanent assistant mistress who would also teach sewing is required.
The progress since last examination is on the whole fair.
N.B.—A person has been teaching in the school without the sanction of the Board.
The Woodend Educational Meeting was duly held on the 20th August. The meeting declared the desirability of the formation of an Educational District, and elected a Committee of nine members. Two Auditors were also appointed.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
J. P. RESTELL,
Inspector of Schools.
