Education
[edit]
Karangahake School was constructed in 1890. In 1907 the school roll was 500 and an addition of four new rooms was designed by John Mitchell to accommodate this. The school roll had dropped to 180 by 1919 due to the closure of the mines and subsequently two rooms were moved to Waikino. By 1943 only one room remained in situ.[2]
Karangahake School is registered as a Category 1 building with Heritage New Zealand.[2]
The school now has a roll of 66 as of August 2024.[9][10]
