About Orewa Beach School

Orewa Beach School is a co-educational contributing school in Orewa, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 414 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 425. The school has been open since 1978.

With 414 students on roll, Orewa Beach School is a large school — larger than about 75% of New Zealand schools.
