About Wyndham School

Wyndham School is a rural contributing primary school located in the township of Wyndham. It serves Year 1 to 6 students, with a roll of 130 to 150 students. The school shares its location with Menzies College, which caters for Year 7 to 13.

The school states its vision as "Inspire Children to Succeed". It is not faith-based or Māori-medium.

On-site facilities include an indoor heated 25-metre swimming pool known as Wyndham Pool, used through summer and autumn for swimming skills and water survival instruction. The grounds also include a native garden established in 2016, an enviro garden with a tunnel house and compost and worm farm, and an outdoor classroom adjoining the native garden.

School donations

The Ministry of Education profile states that: "Donations should not be requested, unless for a school camp".

With an Equity Index of 455, Wyndham 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 Wyndham School actually sits, not just the number on its own.
