Picturesque Dunedin: or Dunedin and its neighbourhood in 1890

South, Nowhigh-Street, School

South, Nowhigh-Street, School.

In 1864, a third district school was provided for the accommodation of the children resident in the Southern parts of Dunedin. It was accommodated in a brick building erected on a site in William-street, where it was long known as the South District School. Mr. John B. Park, master of the State School at Bothwell, Tasmania, was elected headmaster, and he still holds the appointment. Additions were made to the building from time to time to provide for the ever-increasing attendance, until it was found necessary in 1887 to transfer the school to a more commodious building erected on a more suitable site at the corner of Alva-street and Upper High-street.
