Kereru Park Campus at a glance

Kereru Park Campus is a co-educational full primary school in Papakura, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 162 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 542. The school has been open since 1954.

With 162 students on roll, Kereru Park Campus is a medium-sized school — larger than about 40% 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 74.3%, with a meaningful European community at 15.7% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.34 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
