Fiordland College at a glance

Fiordland College is a co-educational secondary (year 7-15) school in Te Anau, within the Southland Region, operating in the state sector, with 307 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 441. The school has been open since 1976.

With 307 students on roll, Fiordland College is a large school — larger than about 62% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 441, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

89% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 7.6%.

On the isolation index the school scores 3.44 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
