The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Arthur William Jordan, whose keen eye skillfully immortalized this historic moment. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate the architectural beauty and grandeur of Kea board school. Over the years, this esteemed establishment evolved into what is now known as Kea Community Primary School - an enduring testament to its commitment to education and nurturing young talents.
