Excerpt from the Timaru Boys' High School Monthly Bulletin: December 1925
Altogether 131 Boarders have been in residence. The new cubicles were ready at the beginning of the year, and this has allowed another 45 boys to sleep in the ‘open air’.
The health of the boys has been excellent; fortunately there have been no epidemics during term time, and, as usual, very few boys have ‘reported sick’ from other causes.
Only the boys themselves and their parents can realise the care and devotion of the Matrons, Miss Scott and Miss Hendry, in the cause of the boys’ welfare.
During the year a new block of buildings of the ‘open air’ type, which has been proved by the preparatory school for the past ten years to be so wonderfully effective, was erected. The fortunate classes which reside there have felt the contrast of the full severity of winter weather and the sultriness of the nor’wester, and the unanimous opinion of masters and boys is that the ‘open airs’ are the best rooms in the school.
