This 1930 poster for the Reefton School of Mines indicates the range of topics taught at that time. As all the teaching was done by the director, he had to be prepared to teach any subject in the syllabus.

For ayone interested in mining history it is well worth a visit (the key is held at the local cafe). There is an amazing amount of material here and the director's office is prety much as it was when the place closed.
