[0] => Awarua Maori School opened on 2 October 1922. Mr G J Rust was the sole teacher, in charge of 37 pupils. The school was situated on the main Whangarei Road near the Maori Settlement at Awarua. The passing of the Education Act, 1989, saw a major restructuring of education administration. From this date the administration of Awarua School was vested in the community through the establishment of a Board of Trustees comprising representatives of parents and staff. Awarua School was closed in 1995 due to falling rolls.

Awarua Maori School opened on 2 October 1922. Mr G J Rust was the sole teacher, in charge of 37 pupils.1
The land for the school was donated by Mariana Wimura and comprised some 10 acres. Portion of part Awarua Block, Block XVI Punakitere Survey District (SO 20237)2 The school was situated on the main Whangarei Road near the Maori Settlement at Awarua, and was initially housed in a single classroom. The roll remained at c.30 - 40 pupils until the 1950's when pupil numbers increased to 90. A single classroom block had been built in the 1940's and this was enlarged in 1962-63 to cope with the increased roll. A staff room and amenities were included.1
The Native School system was established under the Native School Act 1867 to provide for the education of Maori. The Act established a national system of village primary schools, under the control of the Native Department. Prior to this Maori were mainly educated in church missionary schools. To establish schools it was necessary for 10 Maori living in an area to request that a school be established and they were required to provide land and half the cost of the buildings. The requirement to provide for the costs of the building and teacher's salary was removed in 1871 but not the requirement to provide land.3
The separate Maori School System administered by the Department of Education was abolished in 1969, and Awarua School, was transferred to the control of the local Education Board.
Awarua School was closed in 19954 due to falling rolls.
