TE HORO SCHOOL
James Gear generously gave the section, a little smaller than it is today and a contract to build the one roomed school in 1892 was let. The cost was the equivalent of $705.44. That is that is known of such an important event. Today it would have been well recorded, maybe it was then and the records were lost in the fire thirty years later. The original school committee books are all that remain, as sketchy as they are. Their first meeting was on May 13th 1893. In September they received their first income, a cheque from the Education Board for five pounds [$10], being the capitation grant for the June quarter, for an average attendance of 28.
Te Horo School is a country school set in a rural area between Otaki and Waikanae on the Kapiti Coast. The school maintains all the traditions of a country school. They have events such as lamb and calf day and hold a special ANZAC service each year.
