About this school · from Ministry of Education data
Te Pā o Rākaihautū in brief
Te Pā o Rākaihautū is a medium state co-educational composite school (Year 1–13) in Linwood, Christchurch, with 208 students on the roll. Its Equity Index of 517 is above the national midpoint, meaning more of its students face socio-economic barriers, and the school receives extra funding to support them. EQI reflects funding need, not school quality. It is a Māori-medium school: all teaching is in te reo Māori. It has an enrolment zone, so living at an in-zone address guarantees a place. It opened in 2015.
