The Halcombe Public School

The Halcombe Public School is a convenient wooden building, situate 1 at a short distance from the railway station. It was erected some sixteen or seventeen years ago, and the increased number of scholars has necessitated its being considerably enlarged. The accommodation is now sufficient for 200 children, and there is not far short of this number on the roll, the last returns showing that there were 191 children attending school, of whom ninety-eight were boys, and ninety-four girls. The teaching staff is composed of a head master, Mr. S. Strachan, two assistants, and a cadet.
