Perhaps we have a few White Ferns in the making! Well done girls.

Turning up the heat
As we prepare for the installation of our new heat pumps in rooms 1- 11 over the school holidays it is interesting to note how much times have changed. The following advice is from the New Zealand Journal of Education in April 1908.
Teacher's Mutual Help
Soon we shall have the cold weather upon us. It is certainly a time when all our energies are called forth, but how often do we see children working and shivering with cold? Such will be the case as long as our classrooms are heated, by the primitive and extravagant open grate. Especially do the children feel the cold on clear, frosty mornings. No teacher who has the interests of his pupils at heart should allow them to work under such conditions. Take them outside, and let them run two or three times around the playground. When they come back they will attack their work with added energy and comfort.
