Visitors Day 1910

A very pleasant day was spent by all who attended at the Kingscote school yesterday, the occasion being visiting day. A large gathering of parents and visitors assembled and all were highly pleased with the excellent display of work shown. Addresses were delivered by the Chairman of the Board of Advice (Mr E. L. Barrett) Messrs V. H. F. Cook, A. C. Burgess and others. The chairman apologised for the absence of Mr A. Daw, who, though away in Sydney, had not forgotten the children, and had sent a message wishing them a happy time there that day. The children gave a good exhibition of drill, and songs, recitations, etc., were pleasingly rendered by them during the morning. The school has made excellent progress during the year and the Inspector spoke very highly of the way in which the school had advanced. The teacher (Mr Rofe) complimented the children on the interest shown by them and the good way in which they had done their work at the school since his arrival. Mr Barrett presented the Certificates of Honor and Merit won by the various children, some of who had only been attending school for a few months, which spoke volumes for the way in which they had studied. Owing unfortunately to the strike the book prizes promised to the children had not arrived but these would be presented later. The sewing was declared excellent and was judged by Mrs Barrett and Miss Daniels, the successful girl being Irene Keley who was presented with a work basket by Mrs V. H. F. Cook. On behalf of the sewing class Miss Porter received a copy of Shakespeare, in recognition of her services as sewing instructress. After further singing by the children an adjournment was made to Little Brownlow, where the rest of the day was spent. Sports of all description were indulged in by all and, aided with a plentiful supply of eatables and a prize for every child, the day passed very pleasantly, ending with hearty cheers for the teacher, Board of Advice and the parents. The Board of Advice sincerely thank all those who worked so hard to make the day tbe success it was, including Mesdames Harman, Barrett, and Forsyth, Miss Lamprey, and Messrs V. H. F. Cook, Carter, Davidge and Burgess. Reference was made to the attendance of the children, and it is gratifying to know that some of them had hardly missed a day daring the year, but with others the attendance was very bad. Mr Rofe pointed out the disadvantage arising therefrom and hoped that in the future the parents would make a special feature of having the children attend regularly.

KINGSCOTE. 1912

A record attendance of parents and visitors was received at the Kingscote school on Thursday by Mr Rofe, the head teacher, and Mrs Rofe. Schoolwork laid out for inspection was much admired, and the praise bestowed upon it must have been gratifying to the children. Various items were rendered by the children, and addresses delivered by the Chairman of the Board of Advice and Messrs A. Daw, and H. E. Partridge. The annual report of the school was read by Mr Rofe, and it is pleasing to note that satisfactory progress has been made, the school only missing "excellent" by a few points. Prizes won by the children were then presented and the garden and school ground inspected, and after cheers were given for the teacher, visitors and others an adjournment was made to Little Brownlow beach where a picnic was held.
