Ashburton Guardian, 15 July 1946
Children At Taita School ADVISED NOT TO ATTEND
Complaints About Sanitation. The Taita School Committee is in rebellion against the Education Department and, to a less extent, against the Wellington Education Board. The committee has advised residents of Taita not to send their children to school until sanitary conditions are improved .. Asked to explain the decision of the committee, the secretary, Mr N. Matthews, said: "Promises, promises, promises. We have had nothing but promises of an improvement in conditions for two years. With the immense increase in the number of houses in the district the amenities of this very old school have fallen further behind the bare minimum of requirements. As an instance, all the wash hand basins have to be boarded over because the drainage cannot get away the wast water. There are only two cubicles for 159 boys in the tumble-down convenience and there is no provision whatever for the masters." .. "The school will open as usual on Monday" said Mr N. R. Seddon, chairman of the Wellington Education Board, "The school committee has no legal right to close the school". He said that if parents chose to keep their children away they must accept responsibility for it. Referring to the general position of the Taita School, Mr Seddon said: "The board is not unaware of the urgent need for increased convenience accommodation at the Taita School. Awaiting authority are temporary plans for conveniences based on a roll of 350 children .. more
STOP PRESS Only seven children of a total roll of 273 arrived at the Taita School this morning, following the action of the School Committee in asking parents to keep their children at home until sanitary conditions are improved

Hutt News, 27 Aug 1947
Letter to the Editor - Sir, I beg to draw attention to the indisputable fact that a certain proportion of High Street, Lower Hutt, has become a dangerous bottleneck for all motor traffic proceeding via this route to Taita and beyond. I refer to that portion of High Street situated between Cemetery Road and the Taita Hotel site. As a direct result of the existence of this bottlneck at least one child resident in the Taita State Housing area has been permanently maimed within the past year and several bad motor smashes have occurred upon this section of highway. Before the new Taita School, upon this route, is complete it becomes a No 1 priority that this bottleneck be eliminated .. more
