    1 2 DEDICATION This book is dedicated to future members of Laings Road Methodist Church. May their faith and action be relevant to the needs of the people of this city and may they pause to consider and record the history of which they are a part. LIMITED EDITION Published by the Laings Road Methodist Church, Lower Hutt in association with Methodist Publishing, Box 931, Christchurch.

Typesetting by Artspec. Text by Jennifer Jones. Cover Design & Layout by Barrie Eady. 3 ‘On Our Way” is the story of Methodism in the Hutt Valley seen against a background of social change which has continuously affected the past 150 years. The book starts in pre-European times and traces the arrival of various waves of settlers and their attempts to set up churches in their new home. The eleven authors have researched widely over the past two years and provided an insight often lacking in chronological works. Generously illustrated and indexed, this book is a worthwhile addition to the historical records of the people of Lower Hutt. Pitt Henrich, designer and maker of the Pulpit Fall depicted on the cover of I this book, speaks of her work in this way — “This church wanted me to show how their work as Methodists with a tradition of social concern could go out from the church in the Hutt Valley to people everywhere.

G. Fowlds), in reference to a proposal to erect a school in the locality on a site already owned by the Education Department. 29th April 1910 "This is the old-standing trouble of Normandale," said Mr. Wilford, M.P, in introducing a deputation to the Minister of Education (Hon. G. Fowlds) this morning. The residents of Normandale, he continued, had been lone hampered by having no school to which to send their children. The Education Board had a reserve on the settlement, an excellent site, which would serve the district admirably. The side school at Kings-road [Lower Hutt] was not sufficient, and the road to that place from Normandale was by a long, steep, and at times dangerous road. Within the two-mile radius, said a member oft the deputation, there were 28 children attending school and just Inside the three-mile radius there were 23 children, besides plenty of young ones ''coming on." It was also stated that the Education Committee of the House of Representatives had reported favourably on a request made for a grant for the building of a school.

Summary of Findings Population and projections (2018 Census) ● Population: The WCT region is home to around 469,047 people, or 9.8% of New Zealand’s population. It has five territorial authority areas. Two thirds of the people in the WCT region reside in two of these five areas – Wellington City (45%) and Lower Hutt City (22%). Porirua has 12% of the WCT population, followed by 11% in Kapiti Coast District and 9% in Upper Hutt City. ● Population projection: The WCT region’s population will increase by 11% by 2038. Projected population growth in the region is lower than the projected New Zealand average (20%). This means that by 2038, the WCT region is projected to represent a slightly reduced 9.0% of New Zealand’s population. ● Ethnicity: Porirua (22%) and Lower Hutt (10%) have populations with the highest proportion of Pacific Peoples in the WCT region. Both areas also have the populations with the highest proportion of Māori (18% and 16% respectively). Population projections show that Māori and Pacific communities will grow further in proportion in these two areas by 2038.
