About Tua Marina School

Tua Marina School is a co-educational full primary school in Blenheim, within the Marlborough Region, operating in the state sector, with 100 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 432. The school has been open since 1871.

With 100 students on roll, Tua Marina School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 26% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 432, 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.

91.2% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Middle Eastern / Latin American / African descent make up 4.4%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.59 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
