Summary

[edit]
Description

Jack’s Mill School was originally opened in 1903 to educate children from Kotuku, a town that serviced the local sawmill. Edward Darracott arrived at Kotuku in 1935 to take up the position of headmaster at the small two teachers school.

Darracott started a new programme.

The school pupils began by creating a garden for the school with lawn, shrubs and concrete paths aligned to the points of the compass. Form 1 and 2 students (11 to 12 years old) designed and built a ½ sized model bungalow with ¾ size high walls to allow easy access.

Under Darracott’s guidance and with the support of the Kotuku community they learnt practical skills such as carpentry, bricklaying, plastering, painting and surveying as well as book keeping, letter writing and report writing. When complete the bungalow was fully functioning with electricity, running water and custom made ½ sized bathtub, sink and stove.
