About Titahi Bay North School

Titahi Bay North School is a co-educational full primary school in Porirua, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 129 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 516. The school has been open since 1957.

With 129 students on roll, Titahi Bay North School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 32% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 516, 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 53 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 44.1% and Pasifika at 41.4%. 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.
