Te Kura o Manunui

Te Kura o Manunui is a co-educational contributing school in Tauranga, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 355 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 508. The school has been open since 1979.

With 355 students on roll, Te Kura o Manunui is a large school — larger than about 68% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 508, 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 45 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 53.9% and Asian at 21.1%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.12 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
