Kohumaru School 1921-1937 Pupils ============================================================================================ Copyright (C)2001-2008 A Whyte, Auckland, NZ Kohumaru school was built about 1920 from pit-sawn kauri timber by the fathers of the potential pupils. Pupils were able to walk the short distance of 1½ miles to three swimming ponds in the Kohumaru River. The bush started a few chains from the school but was cut and burnt back by 1930. Pupils were inclined to think the school boundaries to be wherever you 'could just hear the bell'. By 1934 a metal road wound through Kohumaru and in 30 Sep 1937 pupils transferred to Mangonui School and Kohumaru school was closed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last name, First Name Year Transferred to Mangonui School (Year) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Graves, Annie 1921 Graves, Maurice 1921 Graves, Myra 1921 Bird, Charles 1921 Bird, Ellen 1921 Bird, Ruth 1921 Bird, Violet 1922 Smart, Ivy 1921 Smart, Ralph 1921 Smart, Rhoderick 1921 Simmonds, Herbert 1921 Simmonds, Phyllis 1921 Simmonds, Myrtle 1921 Coffin, Nelson 1922 Graves, Viola 1923 Coffin, George 1923 Hemy, Margaret 1924 1925 Margaret Eugenie Hemy Hemy, Christopher 1924 1925 Christopher Southcote Hemy Coffin, Jean 1925 Frater, Marjorie 1925 1925 Frater, Clive 1925 1925 Clive Ackland Frater Adams, Alfred 1928 Penney, Stella 1928 1930 Stella May Betsy Penney Coffin, Joyce 1928 Graves, Norman 1928 Bird, Violet 1929 Coffin, Rupert 1929 Drever, Jean 1929 Adams, Mabel 1930 1937 Mabel Joan Adams Penney, James 1931 Foster, Alma 1931 Coffin, Vera 1931 1937 Vera Joan Coffin Jameson, Joan 1932 Penney, Lionel 1932 McEvoy, Clyde 1932 Wells, Miriam 1932 Wells, Sylvia 1932 Thomas, Ruth 1933 Shepherd, Maraea 1933 Foster, Alma 1934 McEvoy, Audrey 1934 1935 McEvoy, Reginald 1934 1935 Adams, Gordon 1934 Matthews, Harry 1934 McEvoy Raymond 1935 1935 Foster, Charles 1935 Coffin, Mervyn 1936 1937 Mervyn George Coffin Reid, Earle 1936 1937 Earle Lewis Reid Raharuhi, Chappie 1936 1936 Chappie Raharuhi Shepherd, Thomas 1936 1936 Matthews, Leonard 1936 1936 Matthews, Betty 1936 1936 Raharuhi, Ben 1936 Matthews, Paddy 1936 1936 Matthews, Kathleen 1936 1936 Rapana, Hare 1936 1936 Harry Rapana Broughton, Charles 1936 1936 Rapana, Hoani 1936 1936 John Rapana Rapana, Maraea 1936 1936 Maria Rapana Broughton, Hilda 1936 1936 Maheno, Mick 1936 1936 Rapana, Matiu 1936 1936 Matthew Rapana Broughton, Sarah 1936 1936 Reid, James 1936 1937 Adams, Dawn 1937 1937 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESOURCES: İMangonui School Jubilee Committee (1985)., "Mangonui School 125th Jubilee 1985." -------------------------------- G E N E oo N Z --------------------------------------------- t r a n s c r i b e d & c o l l a t e d b y A Whyte, Auckland, New Zealand 8 January 2001 http://www.geocities.com/wlorac/kohu1921.txt ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR GENERAL VIEW OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC WITHOUT PAYMENT OF FEES OR PRIVATE MEMBERSHIP
