Turakina Māori Girls' College is a Presbyterian boarding school for young Māori women. The school was originally founded in Turakina, in 1905, by A. G. Hamilton.〔.〕 It was relocated to Marton in 1927,〔.〕 but retained its previous name. The Hamilton Memorial Library of the college was dedicated to its founder in 1939.〔 At the time Māori girls' colleges such as this one were founded, the New Zealand government had no state colleges for Māori girls, but rather funded the education of girls selected as the best from their village schools at denominational schools such as the one at Turakina. At the colleges, they learned domestic skills with the object of turning them into "good women, good wives and good mothers".〔.〕 In 1931, 45 students were in residence at the school.〔.〕 The school is to close in January 2016, having had financial and other problems over the last ten years and with the roll dropping from 152 in 2003 to 47 in 2015. The minister Hekia Parata said that the college had multiple problems, and had received nearly $9 million of taxpayer funding in the last five years. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Turakina Maori Girls College closed due to multiple failures minister says )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Turakina Maori Girls College future at risk )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Haka at Parliament for Turakina Maori Girls College )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Turakina Maori Girls College devastated over school closure )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Students heartbroken at Turakina Maori Girls College closure )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Turakina Maori Girls' College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
