DESCRIPTION OF THE SCHOOL'S COMMUNITY -

 The Community is served by one contributing primary school, Birkdale North, two private day cares, a geriatric hospital, an industrial area and a small block of shops.  There is one small Reserve but there are no parks or recreation facilities in the school's immediate area. 

 The surrounding Birkenhead district has well established parks and reserves, sporting facilities, community houses and youth groups.  Bush walks and tidal inlets are within walking distance of the school.

 We are fortunate to be part of a multi-cultural community which is comprised of a broad range of age groups from young families to pensioners. 

 Ethnic groupings are 25% Pacific Islanders, 15% New Zealand European, 25% New Zealand Maori, 25% Asian and 10% other nationalities.

   These are approximations based on August 2010 data.
