Intermediate Schools<br />
specialists in Year 7<br />
and Year 8 education<br />
Intermediate Schools are exciting places<br />
for students to begin their adventure into<br />
adolescence!<br />
Intermediate aged children are changing<br />
rapidly – physically, emotionally and<br />
socially. Intermediate schools focus solely<br />
on this age group and are well positioned to<br />
meet their needs.<br />
Intermediates provide a rich, age and<br />
stage, middle-years specific curriculum in<br />
a stimulating, challenging and rewarding<br />
environment, and cater for many interest<br />
groups and clubs.<br />
Intermediate teachers are focussed<br />
solely on the middle years. They work<br />
collaboratively to provide level-appropriate<br />
engaging programmes that connect learning<br />
to students’ lives and interests and provide<br />
challenges for all students to achieve to the<br />
best of their ability.<br />
Intermediate Schools have a mix of<br />
specialist and home room teachers which<br />
enhance the choices, challenge, practical<br />
activities and academic rigour that can be<br />
provided.<br />
Intermediates plan and resource deliberately<br />
to meet early adolescent student needs,<br />
help build self esteem, assist students to<br />
develop and find strengths and link learning<br />
with career aspirations.<br />
An intermediate school can support your<br />
child by providing:<br />
• Opportunities to excel and thrive right<br />
across the curriculum both in and out of<br />
the classroom<br />
• Broad enrichment and extension<br />
opportunities<br />
• Opportunities to develop leadership<br />
skills<br />
• Carefully tailored wellbeing programmes<br />
and learning support<br />
• Teachers who understand and have an<br />
affinity for this age and stage<br />
• Structured and safe learning<br />
environments that focus on relationships,<br />
emotional and academic development.<br />
• Technology and specialist programmes<br />
that are hands-on and designed to<br />
encourage creativity and curiosity.<br />
• Schools that are resourced and<br />
designed to meet the needs of this age<br />
group with age appropriate experiences,<br />
opportunities and challenges.<br />
• Challenging extra-curricular experiences<br />
The intermediate schools and principals<br />
in Christchurch work closely together<br />
to collectively provide a wide range of<br />
extracurricular opportunities for students<br />
in sporting, cultural and academic<br />
contexts.<br />
