The growth of a district brings its problems, not the least of which is the provision of accommodation at the schools. The Richmond-Stoke area has gone ahead so rapidly that Waimea College in particular has had great difficulty in providing the accommodation for its ever-increasing roll. Lately a new classroom block was built and now a start has been made with extensions to the assembly hall. The plans provide for an extension of the ground floor and foyer and an upstairs gallery. All this work will mean further seating for 300 children. It is hoped the work will be completed around the commencement of the second school term. Above is a drawing of the proposed alterations and, below, the entrance to the hall where preparatory work was being done when this pic was taken.
