About

Our website is for the Karapiro, Whitehall, Taotaoroa & Karapiro Hydro Schools’ 125th Jubilee in September 2010. We launched the site in June 2009.

There are three aspects to our website:

1] Firstly it is a Journal/Blog/Diary of the planning for the jubilee on the weekend of the 24 – 26 September 2010. Your involvement is encouraged – perhaps you might enjoy helping for a limited or extended time. This is where the notice of meetings are published along with the progress of various projects. Perhaps you might consider working alongside a committee member on a specific task.

2] Secondly it is an overview of the history of education in Whitehall, Taotaoroa and Karapiro districts over the past 125 years – you will find excerpts from the comprehensive publication we are working towards producing for the Jubilee. The entries you find here are, we hope, an encouragement to add your own stories, memories and anecdotes so they can be enjoyed by all of us and passed on to future generations.

3] Thirdly it is the place to sign up for our mailing list, express your interest in attending the jubilee and the place to register for the event.
