Enrolment

No enrolment scheme listed

School donations

The Ministry of Education profile states that: "Donations may be requested".

With an Equity Index of 378, Roseneath School is below the 432 threshold newly required to opt into the donations scheme, though a school already receiving this funding from an earlier year may continue to do so. Outside the scheme, a school can still ask families for donations, but cannot compel or enforce payment.

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 Roseneath School actually sits, not just the number on its own.

WHAT IT MEANS

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.

  • Pacific — 2 students (2.4%)
  • Māori — 5 students (6%)
  • MELAA — 10 students (11.9%)
