The School House was located on the grounds of Wainuiomata Primary School in Homedale. It housed the school principal.
In the 1960s and 70s, Norman and Margaret Wright lived there with their little daschund, Oscar. One time when Mrs Wright was teaching my class, she went into great detail about her jewelry which she appeared to be very fond of. They both seemed like very nice people. I remember this little rhyme about Mrs Wright. It went like this:
“Mrs Wright had a fright, in the middle of the night. Saw a ghost, eating toast, halfway up a lampost.”
Other couples that lived in this house include: Mr Rishworth and his wife and a Mr and Mrs Anderson.
