History of Skule Nite
The history of SkuleTM Nite is best told by the documents of the past which capture and describe the origins and many stories of this event. Sadly, some documents were not available, so we have pieced together what we could with the digital records that were located. These images have been taken from full issues of the Toike Oike, the Cannon and past programs. Most items, if you click on them, will link to a PDF of the information in situ.
