Mataura School 150th Jubilee

Our school website has now been updated with the majority of the historical photos from over the years - there's only a small handful sitting on my desk waiting to be processed!!

We are the in the process of deciding what to do about this jubilee page - potentially it will be archived in the near future so please check out our school website for the all the historic photos, or email [email protected] if you have any more photos to add to our collection.

We have started adding all the old photos to our school website, I am up to 1945 so it's going to take a while!

Photos We have been fortunate to have many photos submitted to us for our history records, and have generously had access to all the school photos that the Mataura Museum holds.
