Edmund Hillary [SEP] Early life
Percy had been a journalist prewar, and soon became founding editor of the weekly "Tuakau District News" as well as an apiarist. Ed had a sister June (born 1917) and a brother Rex (born 1920). Hillary was educated at Tuakau Primary School and then Auckland Grammar School. He finished primary school aged 11 or two years early, and at "Grammar" achieved average marks. His mother wanted him to go to a "good school" and he commuted by train, cycling to Tuakau station before 7 am and returning after 6 pm for 3½ years (a one-hour and 40 minutes journey each way) until the family moved to Remuera, Auckland in 1935, his last of four years at "Grammar".
