WHANGAREI HIGH SCHOOL. Staff. Mr. Roger Lupton, Miss A. L. Gavey, and Miss A. L. M. Wooiley. 1. Report op the Governors. A very considerable increase in the number of pupils took place at the beginning of the new year, and continued throughout the school terms. The pupils of the school were enabled to avail themselves of manual training in woodwork and cookery at the Manual and Technical School recently erected by the Auckland Education Board in Whangarei. During the year the Board of Governors made a successful sale of the school grounds, and a new site of nearly 6 acres of land has been secured. The buildings have been removed to the new grounds, completely renovated, and an extra class-room and a science room added. The resignation of Mr. J. S. Wilson, who has represented the Auckland Grammar School Board on the Board of Governors, was received with regret by the Board, his term of office having dated since 1879. Mr. A. H. Mason has been appointed in his stead. The Rev. L. L. Cubitt and Mr. W. A. Carruth were reappointed as members of the Board of Governors, in accordance with section 3 of " The Whangarei High School Act, 1878." J. McKinnon, Secretary. 2.
