Wellington Hills Christian College at a glance

Wellington Hills Christian College is a co-educational composite school in Wellington, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 180 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 414. The school has been open since 1979.

With 180 students on roll, Wellington Hills Christian College is a medium-sized school — larger than about 44% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 414, which is well below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm. The gap of 49 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 44.6% and Asian at 33.3%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.25 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
