Welcome To Taupo Intermediate School

Taupo Intermediate School has achieved a unique place for itself since its establishment in 1969.

Like all schools the Intermediate has had to respond to numerous Government policy changes in education. Taupo Intermediate has accepted the challenges posed by these changes and has engaged in progressive and innovative school-wide development to fulfil its mission.

The result is a unique organisation that is dedicated to the educational and social needs of the 11 to 13 year old student.

Our model of school organisation is a hybrid that includes the home-room teacher concept as well as teacher specialisms i.e a student is taught by his/her home-room (specialist) teacher and other members of the teaching team, including those who specialise in art, music and technology when it occurs in the timetable.

Experienced in the very best of practice in the educating of emerging adolescents, our specialist focus provides not only a stimulating and caring environment where students strive for success; but a smorgasbord of opportunities specific to the Year 7 and 8 age groups.


Review:

There are high levels of student engagement in learning in classrooms, sporting, cultural and extra curricular activities. In calm, settled environments students and teachers are able to focus on teaching and learning. Expectations for behaviour and learning are clear and well understood by students, who consistently relate positively to their peers and teachers. - Education Review Office - 2007
