The Pukeuri Public School , was built in 1871, mainly through the efforts of Messrs Duncan, Gray, Easton, Cuthbertson, and Goodall. The first building cost over £250, but, owing to the Increase of scholars, it was found too small, and a more commodious building was erected. It is beautifully situated on the side of a hill, commanding a good view of land and sea, and is surrounded by a playground, an acre in extent. Two large play sheds are attached to the school; and there is a fine new school hall (50 × 20). The average attendance for the year is about seventy.
