Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate Senior School at a glance

Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate Senior School is a co-educational secondary (year 9-15) school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 652 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 525. The school has been open since 1966.

With 652 students on roll, Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate Senior School is a large school — larger than about 88% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 525, which is 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 62 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.
