About Maraekakaho School
Our History
Maraekakaho school first opened its doors to people's on 5th April, 1893 on the site where the present swimming pool stands. 11 children were enrolled on the first day with Miss B Miller as teacher. By 1895 the roll had grown to 24 and this upward trend continued, but with the opening of Mangatahi School in 1909, this role dropped again to 25 pupils. In 1928 Miss Bollinger commenced duty as a teacher at Maraekakaho School and during her teaching period, application was made to have a new school building erected and by 1937 Maraekakaho School was a two teacher school with a Miss M Murry acting as assistant.
On First February, 1939 Mr AH Wright and Miss O’Neill opened the new building to 35 pupils and on 5th April the then Minister of Education Mr P Fraser officially opened the school. Since the 1950s, the roll has steadily grown and further buildings added to the main school block. In 2010 a major redevelopment of the school took place with the original block being rebuilt using the existing foundations. The existing balcony and steps can still be seen on this building today. In the 2010s the roll reached into the 170s. By 2019 the temporary buildings brought on site in the 2010 had outlived their useful life and property development began to replace these buildings. In its early years the school was an integral part of the Maraekakaho Station life, catering as it did for the station workers’ children. The school still is an integral part of the Maraekakaho community and is a strong identity within the community.
