The Kaipara District is based around the northern reaches of the Kaipara Harbour and includes Dargaville , Ruawai and Maungaturoto .
Northland is the northernmost region of New Zealand. It contains numerous rural primary schools, some small town primary and secondary schools, and a small number of city schools. Area schools in isolated areas provide complete education from primary to secondary level. Intermediate schools exist in Kaitaia, Kaikohe, Dargaville, Whangarei and Kamo. All schools are coeducational except for Whangarei Boys' and Girls' High Schools in Whangarei. The only private schools are Springbank School in Kerikeri and Otamatea Christian School in Maungaturoto. Several Kura Kaupapa Māori schools exist in the region, all but one in the Far North District. These schools teach solely or principally in the Māori language. The name Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o (placename) can be translated as The Kaupapa Māori School of (placename). In New Zealand schools, students begin formal education in Year 1 at the age of five. Year 13 is the final year of secondary education. Years 14 and 15 refer to adult education facilities.
