About Puni School

Puni School is a co-educational contributing school in Pukekohe, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 211 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 430. The school has been open since 1878.

With 211 students on roll, Puni School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 49% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 430, 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 largest group is European at 72.2%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 11.9% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.28 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
