KAIKORAI SCHOOL JUBILEE

THE PRESENT SCHOOL.
The present substantial bstantial bluestone building, so finely situated on the eminence, the elneDee, with its coinnianding outlook over the Valley to the mountains beyond, and surrounded with treesand shrubs, gives it an ideal setting, and much praise is due to,the various Committees for their efforts in making the best of the -site, and giving the children a love for trees and flowers. This School was erected in 1884 by 'Alr. Francis Wilkinson, of Roslyn, who was' also amost, energetic meniber of,the School Committee for many years.

The. School consists of five large rooms, accommodating 400 pupilsi and a headmaster's office occasionally visited by many scholars as "the place of correction." It has its counterpart- in North-East Valley, where one on the same plan was erected. This stone school was named "Kaikorai," and various attempts have been made to change it to "Roslyn"' without success. Now that so many who have passed throughit, and have, sacrificed their lives for the land so dear to them, it would Surely be unwise to contemplate any such change. Kaikorai School is indeed very proud of its scholastic attainments and its glorious Roll of Honour.
