Talk:Wadestown, New Zealand

Earliest schools Suggestion
1881 seems very late in the day for "one of the earliest schools in Wellington". Would that claim be right for just one restricted type of school? Eddaido (talk) 00:46, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, good point. I have found the original source of the assertion - on the school's website, but you are correct, it needs to be clarified or else deleted from the article. I think it might be justifiable to say Wadestown School was one of the earliest state primary schools in Wellington, since apparently New Zealand did not establish a state education system until 1877. See: History of Education in New Zealand.  As it happens, the book I have by Monigatti describes a private school operating in Wadestown from around 1865. I will search for further sources about the development of state schools in Wellington, and then update the content accordingly. Marshelec (talk) 03:54, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
