School Closures in the Taranaki Region (since 1984)
Source: EDUMIS, Indicators
and Reporting, Ministry of Education, November 2012
Note: This table lists closures within the Taranaki Regional Council area.
Note: Information on school closures is only available from 1984 onwards.
Note: This list excludes continuing schools following school mergers (eg, if schools A and B merge, with the new school C formed on the site of school A,
then only school B is recorded on the list below as closed, while school A is deemed to be continuing). In particular, the closure of Okato College in 2005
is not on the list below, as it was replaced by an Area School on the same site ‐ and the closure of the private school Te Kura o Ngā Ruahine Rangi in
2008 is not on the list below, as this school opened as a state school at a nearby site.
