About Tasman Bay Christian School

Tasman Bay Christian School is a co-educational full primary school in Tasman, within the Tasman Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 46 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 456. The school has been open since 1986.

With 46 students on roll, Tasman Bay Christian School is a very small school — larger than about 14% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 456, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

75.6% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 17.8%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.6 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
