About Kahurangi School

Kahurangi School is a co-educational full primary school in Wellington, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 262 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 438. The school has been open since 2013.

With 262 students on roll, Kahurangi School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 56% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 438, 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.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 54.8% and Pasifika at 26.9%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.23 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
