Omanaia School Ōmanaia Native School was established in 1881 under the Native Schools Act. The land was gifted by a collective of tūpuna who chose the present site for the school.
Ōmanaia School is situated in the Hokianga between Waima and Rawene behind Te Piiti Marae on Ōmanaia school road past Tapikitū urupa. Ōmanaia sits west Puke Huia and Ngā Puke Haua maunga. Identified paraka whenua significant to the current site are Ahikawariki, Karatia, Te Taraire, Potaka, Tapikitu, Taiwhakapiki, Horotiu and Ōmanaia. The two principal hapū of the valley Ngāti Kaharau and Ngāti Hau were leading contributors to the makeup of the school roll. However we now have children from neighbouring hapū, all of which reside in the Hokianga area. |
