About Te Huruhi School

Te Huruhi School is a co-educational contributing school in Waiheke Island, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 252 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 423. The school has been open since 1986.

With 252 students on roll, Te Huruhi School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 55% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 423, 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.

The largest group is European at 73.3%, with a meaningful Asian community at 10.6% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.59 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
