The Helensville Public School
The Helensville Public School was established in 1878. Since then owing to the increase of the population and demand for greater accommodation, two more class-rooms have been added, making the present building a complete school of its kind. There are about 150 pupils on the roll with an average attendance of about 135. The staff consists of a headmaster, two assistant teachers, two pupil-teachers, and one probationer.
