Paul H :tinoflag:This is a scan of my Dad’s school report from King’s High School in Ōtepoti in December 1939 when he was 14. It was his last year of high school as he, like many others, had to work and support the family. It strikes me how useless these reports are - just a bunch of numbers that seem purely designed to rank pupils. And the comments - “Steady work”. What does that even mean? Still, it’s great to have these. <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/FamilyMemomorabilia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FamilyMemomorabilia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/digitisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#digitisation</a>
