TKK Motuhake o Tawhiuau

TKK Motuhake o Tawhiuau is a co-educational composite school in Murupara, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 89 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 552. The school has been open since 2000.

With 89 students on roll, TKK Motuhake o Tawhiuau is a small school — larger than about 23% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 552, which is well 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 89 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 71.4%, with a meaningful European community at 28.6% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.47 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
