The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Nelson, Marlborough & Westland Provincial Districts]

[introduction]

There are two Education Boards on the West Coast; namely, one for Westland, and one for Grey. Westport, in the southern portion of the provincial district of Nelson, is under the jurisdiction of the Nelson Education Board. There is also a Board of School Commissioners at Hokitika for the administration of reserves set apart for education in the provincial district. District High Schools have been established at Hokitika, Greymouth, Reefton, and Westport, and public schools, not only in the larger towns, but also in a great number of the small country settlements. Denominational schools have also been established, chiefly by the Roman Catholic Church, which has Convent High Schools at Hokitika, Greymouth and Reeiton, and primary schools conducted by Sisters of Mercy. There are Schools of Mines at Westport, Reefton, and Kumara.
