1904+-+1913

1906 In 1963 the South Auckland Education handed over the school accounting. They still have the Tauwhare School accounting book for 1906-1954 and it could tell us quite a lot about the school. The Education Board grant for running costs was $20.00 in 1907 by 1954 it had risen to $264.00. Today it is $2,216.00 excluding cleaning.

1907 The destination of Nehipa in 1911 was given as heaven. Louise Shaw was recorded in 1907 as being "removed by death". They thought they could infer that school age children were healthy and not accident prone.

1910 For two years 1910 and 1911 the Tauwhare Committee seemed to have oversight of Matangi School. Seperate lists of receipts and expenditure were kept for both schools. Six months rental of the Matangi Hall in 1911 cost $39.00. The Matangi account was slightly overspent in 1910, but when Matangi Committee took over in January 1912 a balance of $17.50 was paid over to them.

1911 In 1884 there was only one class room but in 1911 an assistant teacher was appointed. At Tauwhare School there were a lot of twins but for our date there is only 1 pair of twins. Their names are Pearl and Ruby Aukett. There was also three teachers for our period and their names are Miss E Wilson, Miss Pickering and Miss L. A. Aubin.

1912 In 1912 the Matangi committee took over Tauwhare Committee and a balance of $17.50 was handed over to them.
