The Oroua Bridge Public School
The Oroua Bridge Public School, which was erected in 1891, is situated on a two-acre play-ground. There are fifty-four children on the roll, many of whom come from a distance of seven miles by train. The inspector's report regarding the discipline of the Maori children (many of whom attend) was excellent. Mr. George Nye is the headmaster.
