OHAEAWAI SCHOOL ROLLS

Extracted from "Old Ohaeawai and its School" 
                      by Rayma Ritchie.

(Ohaeawai is sort-of between Kaikohe and Kerikeri.)
Originally it was known as Taiamai, although this 
    name probably applied to the whole District, 
                      including Ngawha.
