St Brigids School (Tainui)

St Brigids School (Tainui) is a co-educational contributing school in Dunedin, within the Otago Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 80 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 399. The school has been open since 1939.

With 80 students on roll, St Brigids School (Tainui) is a small school — larger than about 22% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 399, 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 64 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 45.3% and Asian at 37.2%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.11 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
