Description

The first school at Oroua Bridge was built during 1896 on 2 acres of land gifted by Enereta te Rangiotu. In 1996 the school, with a role of 24 pupils and four classrooms, was closed by the Government, along with a number of others through out New Zealand. The Te Awe Awe family requested the Government return the land and the school passed back into Rangitāne ownership. The school is now used for Hui, seminars, conferences and special Whanau events.
