About Randwick Park School
Randwick Park School is a primary school located at 66 Riverton Drive, Manurewa, Auckland. The school's principal is Karen McMurray.
The school describes its approach as whānau-centred, with community involvement in children's learning treated as a stated priority. A curriculum initiative called Te Hui Ako is identified as a central part of this approach, involving whānau participation in learning.
The school's motto, in te reo Māori, is Kia Tupu, Kia Mōhio Tahi Tātou — "Growing and Learning Together." Its stated values include being responsible, resilient, positive, and kind.
The school has a pepeha that situates it within the Tainui iwi tradition, referencing the mountains Matukutureia and Matukutururu, the Puhinui river, and the marae at Manurewa.
School donations
The Ministry of Education profile states that: "Donations should not be requested, unless for a school camp".
With an Equity Index of 496, Randwick Park School is in the range eligible to opt into the Ministry's donations scheme — receiving additional government funding per student in exchange for not seeking donations (except for overnight camps).
Check directly with the school for current charges, contributions or other costs. Learn more on the donations scheme or fees and charges at school, both on education.govt.nz.
Equity Index
The Ministry publishes this figure as a bare number — KuraData shows it against the directory-wide average, so you can see where Randwick Park School actually sits, not just the number on its own.
The Equity Index estimates the socio-economic barriers students face, on average, and is used to inform government funding and support. It is not a measure of school quality or academic performance.
Higher values indicate a higher level of estimated socio-economic barriers; lower values indicate fewer. Learn how the Equity Index is calculated →
Student ethnicity
The Ministry publishes this as a raw table — here it's visualised directly against Randwick Park School's own roll, so the shape of it is clear at a glance.
- European — 85 students (11.8%)
- Asian — 191 students (26.6%)
- Pacific — 433 students (60.3%)
- Māori — 224 students (31.2%)
- MELAA — 20 students (2.8%)
Percentages may sum to more than 100% because students can identify with more than one ethnic group.
