About Titahi Bay School

Titahi Bay School is a co-educational contributing school in Porirua, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 376 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 459. The school has been open since 1858.

With 376 students on roll, Titahi Bay School is a large school — larger than about 71% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 459, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

The largest group is European at 67.3%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 20.7% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.09 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
