About Te Manu Tukutuku South Hornby School

Te Manu Tukutuku South Hornby School is a co-educational contributing school in Christchurch, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state sector, with 310 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 464. The school has been open since 1962.

With 310 students on roll, Te Manu Tukutuku South Hornby School is a large school — larger than about 62% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 464, 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 roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 44% and Asian at 37.4%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.29 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
