School Rolls | GENEALOGY SOCIETY

Under construction. Items are added frequently. Please check regularly. Indexes for many schools are at the South Canterbury museum located on Perth Street, Timaru. For records, contact us via our research form or fill in one of the forms available in the South Canterbury museum archives room.

Here is our downloadable pdf book link to all the South Canterbury School Rolls we are aware of. The full entry, available upon payment, could contain register no, date of admission, surname & christian names, birth date, parent/guardian, address, last school, last day, destination.

We are restricted from publishing any information about living persons, and so require confirmation of death of any person who entered school after 1920 (strictly speaking, 95 years before the date of the request). To verify death an image of a headstone, a snip from NZ BMD or a copy of a death notice is sufficient.

Here is the School Roll index held by the South Canterbury Genealogy. This list includes the years the School was opened and closed and what years we hold records for. Click on School to download a pdf (In progress)
