About Hukarere Girls' College

Hukarere Girls' College is a girls school secondary (year 9-15) school in Havelock North, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 53 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 542. The school has been open since 1993.

With 53 students on roll, Hukarere Girls' College is a small school — larger than about 16% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 542, which is well above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 79 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 57.1%, with a meaningful European community at 42.9% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.42 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
