are set to increase in Rotorua
Most schools in Rotorua are preparing for expanding rolls this year, with estimates showing three-quarters of schools will see a boost in students.
Provisional data from the Ministry of Education shows of the 47 schools in the area, 36 are set for an increase compared with last year.
The provisional figures are estimates and may change, while the 2022 numbers are based on school roll returns from July 1.
Rotorua Boys’ High School is estimated to be Rotorua’s biggest school in 2023, with 1160 students. This was an increase of 68 on July.
The school’s principal Chris Grinter told the Rotorua Daily Post he was expecting a roll of more than 1200 students in 2023. This was due to a “big” Year 9 cohort starting, he said.
