TKKM o Kawakawa mai Tawhiti

TKKM o Kawakawa mai Tawhiti is a co-educational composite school in Hicks Bay, within the Gisborne Region, operating in the state sector, with 82 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 523. The school has been open since 2005.

With 82 students on roll, TKKM o Kawakawa mai Tawhiti is a small school — larger than about 22% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 523, 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 60 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

100% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Māori descent make up 0%.

On the isolation index the school scores 3.94 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
