Goat Valley

Goat Valley.

The Goat Valley School, which was opened about 1866, is six or seven miles from Maxwelltown, and about four miles from the Westmere School. There are twenty-six children on the roll, with an average attendance of twenty-three. It is understood that this school is to be removed to a site at Kai Iwi, where the attendance will probably be doubled.

Mr. Duncan Henry Mackay, who is in charge of the Goat Valley Public School, was born in 1871 in Auckland. He is a son of Mr. A. Mackay, J.P., of Waiapu, and took up his duties at Goat Valley in February, 1896.
