Te Ara Whanui Kura Kaupapa Māori o ngā Kōhanga Reo o Te Awa Kairangi is a co-educational composite school in Lower Hutt, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 422 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 517. The school has been open since 1996.
With 422 students on roll, Te Ara Whanui Kura Kaupapa Māori o ngā Kōhanga Reo o Te Awa Kairangi is a large school — larger than about 75% of New Zealand schools.
The school's Equity Index is 517, 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 54 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.
The largest group is Pasifika at 57.6%, with a meaningful European community at 27.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.
On the isolation index the school scores 0.07 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
Total roll recorded: 422 students. Percentages are calculated from the 2026 roll census and may not sum to exactly 100% because of rounding and students who decline to state an ethnicity.
