Primary Schools.

Queen's Park School adjoins the reserve after which it is named, and consists of a boys' school, and a girls' and infants' school. The number on the roll of the school is 695. The original building is of brick and wood, and contains seven class-rooms and lobbies. A new brick building will afford five additional class-rooms, and there is to be a fine central hall for assembly purposes, measuring 106 feet by 50 feet. The headmaster at Queen's Park School is assisted by nine certificated teachers and four pupil teachers. The Gonville side school, attached to the Queen's Park School, is under the care of one of the assistants, and has a roll of forty-four.

Mr. Henry Marriott Payne, Head-master of Queen's Park School, was for seven years first assistant-master at the Hawera District High School, before receiving his present appointment in 1905.
