Balclutha Primary principal Paddy Ford said he was glad to see the empty classrooms go where they were needed.
The Ministry of Education had planned to sell the two classrooms from the Lanark St school but instead started repainting and fixing them a few weeks ago in preparation for a shift to Christchurch.
Mr Ford also expects one of the school's "prefabs" will be shifted to Christchurch at some stage.
A spokesperson for removal company King House Removals Southland said the big trucks would travel to Christchurch on an inland route to cut traffic disruption.
The classrooms headed south to Gore yesterday afternoon and are expected to arrive in Christchurch late this afternoon.
Two weeks ago, five classrooms were shifted to Christchurch from Queen's High in Dunedin.
About 30 classrooms from Dunedin are going to Christchurch, with some of them shifted already, joining nearly 100 others from around the South Island.
North Otago Young Farmers has given $70,000 to the Christchurch earthquake relief fund.
Most of the money was raised from a stock sale at the Waiareka saleyards earlier this month, with 240 donated sheep and 72 cattle selling for a total of $68,500.
Young Farmers topped up the proceeds to $70,000.
The donation was split equally between the Red Cross and Salvation Army.
