School history

Tinui School started classes on 9 October 1876. The teacher's residence and school were one building in the early days, so once numbers started to build up, it must have a bit cramped in the 6.10 m × 4.27 m (20 ft by 14 ft).

In 1883 a purpose-built school was erected in the grounds. This building continued in use until 1955, when the new school in Charles Street was opened. 

The Tinui School logbooks provide a wonderful resource as head teachers/masters noted any particular events that had occurred, including the dispensing of corporal punishment. 

The transcribed logbooks - with news items about the school - are being added to this website. Thank you to Robin Carlyon, who transcribed the rural school logbooks for the entire Wairarapa.
