About Tamaki College

Tamaki College is a co-educational secondary (year 9-15) school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 703 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 526. The school has been open since 1957.

With 703 students on roll, Tamaki College is a very large school — larger than about 90% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 526, 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 63 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

77.2% of students identify as Pasifika, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 10.6%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.35 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
