Waiuku College at a glance

Waiuku College is a co-educational secondary (year 9-15) school in Waiuku, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 986 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 476. The school has been open since 1858.

With 986 students on roll, Waiuku College is a very large school — larger than about 94% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 476, 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 largest group is European at 71.6%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 11% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.42 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
