About Te Kura o Kimi Ora

Te Kura o Kimi Ora is a co-educational full primary school in Hastings, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state sector, with 151 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 532. The school has been open since 1988.

With 151 students on roll, Te Kura o Kimi Ora is a medium-sized school — larger than about 38% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 532, 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 69 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

77% of students identify as Pasifika, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of European descent make up 18%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.26 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
