Welcome to Newlands Intermediate

  

Founded in 1977 Newlands Intermediate School is a Decile 9 school that draws its pupils from Newlands and the northern suburbs. Our student population is usually between 315 and 340 students. Our Intermediate facilities enable us to provide a broad range of challenging learning experiences via our technology centre, dual platform ICT programme, music room, large library and ample grounds for sports. We are renowned for our exceptional performance groups and specialised nature of our curriculum delivery. We are fortunate in being next door to an excellent secondary school with whom we have a very strong relationship. As a school we strive to challenge, nurture and affirm our students in order to enhance their learning.

Principal

The Intermediate years are a crucial period of any child's development as they continue to refine the way they think, feel, learn and act in their home and school environments. At Newlands Intermediate School we recognise this inevitable growth and the special needs that early adolescents have and we work very hard to provide opportunities that broaden interests, focus on core numeracy and literacy skills and challenge our learners. We want our students to be active and productive members of society whilst they are at and when they leave Newlands Intermediate School. If you are thinking of sending your child to our school we would ask you to contact me to arrange an appointment to discuss your child's educational needs.

Our students

Our school is committed to provide the very best learning opportunities for our students. Students are given a wide variety of experiences in the core learning areas as well as the arts, technology and sports. Leadership opportunities abound through various student lead committees who are actively involved in the life of our school. We have a strong expectation of full participation from all our students in the learning experiences we provide.

the Principal, Brendon Henderson

OUR LOGO

The logo is significant because it symbolises the meaning of one of the original names of the Newlands area, Paparārangi, "where the sun meets the earth and the sky."
