b/ Kiaxna School
For
some
years Kiama has been providing a secondary course up
to the Intermediate Oertificce for the children of parents not prepared to
send their children to 7ollongong. There are at
present
35
enrolled in the
7th class; 10 of vthoai are d.oinga7 work; in 8th there are 25 pupils, and in
9th 12. Consequently there are 72 pupils at present doing secondary work there.
The elanation for the large percentage doing 07 work lies in
the fact that both the Headmaster and nself have used every endeavour to
persuade the brighter children to go on to Wollongong, as it

that full justice could be done to their talents. Probably the brighter children
will, in any case, continue to go to the High School at Wollongong.
