137students
Waihi School had 137 students enrolled at Jul 2026.
These add up to more than the roll. The Ministry records ethnicity as total response: a student who identifies with more than one ethnicity is counted in each. Percentages are each group's share of the 137 students on the roll, so they sum to about 103%, not 100%.
