St. Peter's College Expanded

A new chapel to accommodate 150 and costing more than £8,000 is being built at the St Peter's Maori Boys' Roman Catholic College, Northcote. The new building, of an uncommon design, is of brick vencer. It will contain a vestry, a vesting room for the choir and two side chapels. The funds were provided by the general Maori mission.

The chapel will be opened next October.

The old chapel is overcrowded and will be used as an extension to the college dining room.

A large new dormitory is also being built. Some of the work is being done by the fathers and boys.

The chemistry laboratory has been extended and a large room added which will also be used for an assembly hall.

The college, a secondary school, has a roll of 90 boys.
