With the establishment of Papakura Intermediate School in 1961, the honour of Dux was no longer awarded at the Papakura Primary School. The ringing of the bell was the reward for good behaviour. After assembling outside the pupils marched into the school to the beat of the Drum. These artifacts have been made available by Papakura + Districts Historical Society on long term loan for display in the Old Central School
