Archives NZ should have records, with Ministry of Education as the controlling agency
This page contains information from documents written many years ago reflecting language and terms that are not acceptable today. For example, some of the original names of institutions are offensive and derogatory.
We have some suggestions on what help and support is available if you want someone to talk to, or support during your journey.
Unfortunately, we do not have a lot of information for this page.
This could be because:
we have not received much - or any - information from the relevant organisation
we have not finished our research on this page’s topic
there is no more information available.
If you have information you would like to send us, we would love to hear from you.
