Te Kura o Te Moutere O Matakana

Te Kura o Te Moutere O Matakana is a co-educational composite school in Tauranga, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 32 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 499. The school has been open since 1898.

With 32 students on roll, Te Kura o Te Moutere O Matakana is a very small school — larger than about 10% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 499, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

The largest group is European at 66.7%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 33.3% — 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.
