Hāwera Christian School

Hāwera Christian School is a co-educational full primary school in Hāwera, within the Taranaki Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 49 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 470. The school has been open since 1979.

With 49 students on roll, Hāwera Christian School is a very small school — larger than about 15% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 470, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 54.2% and Middle Eastern / Latin American / African at 27.1%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.29 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
