TKKM o Waitaha is a co-educational composite school in Christchurch, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state sector, with 225 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 519. The school has been open since 1992.
With 225 students on roll, TKKM o Waitaha is a medium-sized school — larger than about 51% of New Zealand schools.
The school's Equity Index is 519, 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 56 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.
The largest group is Pasifika at 60.5%, with a meaningful European community at 34.2% — a mixed but clearly led roll.
On the isolation index the school scores 0.13 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
