About Wainuiomata Intermediate

Wainuiomata Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Lower Hutt, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 337 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 502. The school has been open since 2002.

With 337 students on roll, Wainuiomata Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 66% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 502, 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 largest group is European at 55.7%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 28.2% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.19 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
