Remuera Intermediate School provides a very special educational environment which caters specifically for students in Years 7 and 8.
At Remuera Intermediate we have high educational standards. We celebrate success and we want our students to know that it’s OK to be first, it’s OK to be the best and it’s OK to strive for excellence in all they do. To have high standards we must have high expectations. We expect our students to be well behaved, focussed, motivated and actively involved in school activities.
The school has an excellent teaching staff. Our teachers are committed and dedicated. They bring to the school a wide range of talents and experiences.
Teachers are well aware of the fact that they do have the opportunity to influence student learning and behaviour. They are tremendous role models who give guidance to their students and challenge them to become confident young people who have a positive attitude to learning.
The school offers many extra activities to support students who are enthusiastic about challenge and extension. In addition there are opportunities for selected students to take part in extension programmes. The school identifies and caters for students who show ability and potential in academic, creative, artistic, cultural, physical and leadership areas.
Our school is proud of the culture it has developed over recent years. Students want to be at this school. Teachers want to teach here, and the community support is huge. We have established a reputation as a school that respects its students, cares for its staff and welcomes the community in. We work hard to establish strong links with the community, and enjoy the support and involvement of loyal and hard-working Board of Trustees and PTA. We recognise the importance of the partnership between home and school, and we want to create real opportunities for parents to become involved in the activities of the school.
Our school community can feel confident that this Intermediate school has a focus on educational excellence, and caters for young people who require a specialised teaching and learning programme – preparing the way for their future success.
