About TKKM o Te Whanau Tahi

TKKM o Te Whanau Tahi is a co-educational composite school in Christchurch, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state sector, with 234 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 494. The school has been open since 1997.

With 234 students on roll, TKKM o Te Whanau Tahi is a medium-sized school — larger than about 52% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 494, 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 54.5% and Pasifika at 39.8%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.15 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
