About Southern Cross Campus

Southern Cross Campus is a co-educational composite school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 1,671 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 515. The school has been open since 1998.

With 1,671 students on roll, Southern Cross Campus is a one of the largest school — larger than about 98% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 515, 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 52 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

84.3% of students identify as Pasifika, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 10.7%.

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.
