School History
Maraenui Native School opened in November 1927 with approximately 30 students.
A concert held in 1929 raised funds for a school library, tennis court and basket-ball ground, the balance being paid by the Education Department.
When the nearby bridge over the Motu River opened on November 25 1929 the school had a special holiday so that the pupils could attend the opening. Another special holiday was granted on 26 July 1961 to attend an International Football match against France at Rotorua.
In 1944 the school moved to a new site across the road from the old school.4
A report on the school5 written at the time control passed to the Education Boards states "The site is of 3 acres, and was acquired about 1945. There is one permanent classroom and a prefabricated unit to cater for the present roll of 32 children. A 3-bedroomed teacher's residence and garage have also been provided."
The school passed to the control of the South Auckland Education Board in 1969

Maori Schools
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.1
In 1879 the 57 native schools were transferred to the Department of Education, which had been established in 1877, and regular visits by an Education Department Inspector began. In 1880 conditions such as curriculum hours of instruction and governance in the Native Schools were standardised by the Native School Code, and in 1894 schooling became compulsory for Maori children
The separate Maori School System administered by the Department of Education was abolished in 1969, and Maraenui School was transferred to the control of the Auckland Education Board.2
