Waitaki District Archive has been designated an official repository for Department of Education. Not all the schools in the area have deposited material here and some schools have lost their records. We hold archives for the following schools. The dates listed are years the records held by this archive cover, not the dates of school operation. If a school has closed, this is noted.
Note: School records contain private information about named individuals and families (whether students or staff) and as such some restrictions on access apply. Please contact the archive to find out if restrictions apply to your particular query.
