Te Wharau School was established as Wharau School in 1898, with a governing School Committee elected on 17 September 1898. The school closed in 1948 and reopened in 1953.2

Prior to 1989, Te Wharau School was under the general supervision and control of the Wellington Education Board. The Board had overall responsibility for the architecture, buildings, general services, finance, teacher services, and transport.3

A School Committee was responsible for governance at the school level, keeping the school in good repair and order, providing for the proper cleaning of the school and outbuildings, the day-to-day running of the school, keeping accounts for submission to the education board, and forwarding to the education board each year a report of education matters in the School District.4

Under the Education Act 1989, Te Whaurau School was governed by a Board of Trustees made up of parent representatives who were elected by parents every three years, the Principal and a staff representative. The Board was responsible for running the school and overseeing educational aspects such as policy writing, finance and maintenance.

Te Wharau School closed on 28 May 1999, and was consolidated with Gladstone School.5
