About Rosehill College

Rosehill College is a co-educational secondary (year 9-15) school in Papakura, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 1,751 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 473. The school has been open since 1970.

With 1,751 students on roll, Rosehill College is a one of the largest school — larger than about 98% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 473, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 42% and Asian at 31.1%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.36 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
