Miss Maria Selina Pretsch , Mistress of the Wedderburn Public School, was born in Cromwell, where she received the earlier part of her education. She attended the Dunedin High school for three years, and after a year's training at the Normal College, was appointed to the Kawarau Gorge school, where she continued for three years, and was then transferred to Moa Flat. Miss Pretsch resigned her position there at the end of 1899 in order to enter the Otago University to complete her degree. She was afterwards for two years at Lowburn, before being appointed to Wedderburn.
