About South Wellington Intermediate

South Wellington Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Wellington, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 340 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 400. The school has been open since 1896.

With 340 students on roll, South Wellington Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 66% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 400, which is well 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 gap of 63 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 69.4%, with a meaningful Asian community at 15.6% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.15 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
