The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Canterbury Provincial District]

The Main School

The Main School, Flaxton, is situated near Wetheral railway station, at Ohoka. It serves that district, and was originally established on the site of the Flaxton side school, whence it was removed about 1877. The grounds consist of about three acres, and the school, which is built of wood and iron, contains two class rooms and two porches, with accommodation for 150 children. There are eighty-one names on the roll, and the average attendance is sixty. The staff consists of a headmaster and mistress. A good playground surrounds the school, and there is a substantial two-storied residence.
