About Te Kamo School

Te Kamo School is a co-educational contributing school in Whangarei, within the Northland Region, operating in the state sector, with 421 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 467. The school has been open since 1873.

With 421 students on roll, Te Kamo School is a large school — larger than about 75% of New Zealand schools.
