Kopuarahi

Kopuarahi is a rural settlement and farming community in the Hauraki District and Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island.[1]

The settlement is located on the outskirts of Thames, between Pipiroa and Kopu, on State Highway 25. It is situated at the north-eastern corner of the Hauraki Plains, just south of the Firth of Thames, just east of the Piako River, and west of the Waihou River.[1]

History

Early history

The Ngāti Hako people traditionally had a pā (defensive settlement) in the area. The pā site was discovered in a swampy area in 1920 and many rare artefacts were discovered, but the site was not fully excavated until 1956.[2]

The Kopuarahi District was established in 1911.[3]

Modern history

The Kopuarahi Cheese Factory was built in 1916 to produce cheese from the milk of local dairy farms. When milk tankers began transporting milk to a dairy factory in Kerepehi in 1956, the building was converted into a community hall.[1] The hall is available for hire for private events.[4]

The Kopuarahi School Second World War Memorial flagstaff was erected in April 1947 to commemorate two local men, who were killed in World War II.[5]

A woman was critically injured, when her car was struck by a road sweeping truck in Kopuarahi in January 2012.[6]

A 4.3 magnitude quake was felt in Kopuarahi in September 2020.[7]

In 2021, Kopuarahi School reported increasing poverty among students.[8] The principal said a lack of food and basic supplies had affected student learning.[9]

Education

Kopuarahi School is a co-educational state primary school,[10] with a roll of 16 as of August 2024.[11][12]

The school celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1967,[13] and marked its centenary in 2017.[14]
