“The school has been carefully managed and organized, and Std 2 HARTIS Grace
the pupils making very promising progress. Order, discipline and Std 2 McGLYNN Eileen
tone were good.” N T Lambourne, 27 March 1924 Std 2 PERRY Sydney
Std 2 PORTEOUS Jessie
In February of 1924 a District High School was opened in Std 2 ROSSER Evan
Huntly as a part of the Huntly Primary School. In the following year Std 2 ROSSER Melva
there were 427 primary pupils and 35 secondary pupils (which Std 2 VALENTINE May
included a number from Kimihia).
Std 3 GOODSALL Henry
Prior to the local secondary school opening (initially in 1918, Std 3 THOMSON Eric
then closing in 1919) pupils from the Kimihia area, who qualified to Std 4 BEARDMORE Sam
attend Secondary School, needed to walk from their home in the east Std 4 TAYLOR Elsie
for about an hour to the Huntly Railway Station to catch the 7:15am Std 5 BEARDMORE Gladys
train to Hamilton (a rail journey reportedly of two hours) arriving at
9:15am. About three hours each way took a large bite out of the Std 5 BROWN Esmond
pupils’ day. Std 5 PERRY Grace
Std 5 THOMSON Jemima
In September 1953 Huntly College opened, which relieved the Std 6 CRAW Isabella
stress on Huntly Primary. The Kimihia pupils then needed to manage
the extra walking/biking distance across the Waikato River railway Std 6 GLEGHORN Nellie
bridge for their secondary schooling. Std 6 YATES Elsie

Enrolments
“The order is satisfactory, but the children do
Sep-09 1925 S1 CRAW David not apply themselves to their work as energetically as
Sep-09 1925 S5 CRAW Isabella desirable. The buildings and fences are in satisfactory
Oct-28 1925 S5 GLEGHORN Nellie order except that the ravages of the borer necessitate
Apr-27 1925 S2 GOODSALL Grace minor repairs to one of the outhouses.”
