Enrolments 2027
Welcome to Taupō Intermediate School
For many Taupō students, moving from primary school to Taupō Intermediate is the natural next step in their learning journey. We know that while this transition is exciting, it can also bring plenty of questions — particularly for families experiencing intermediate for the first time.
Our goal is to make the move to Taupō Intermediate as smooth, positive and well-supported as possible for every student and their whānau.
Enrolments for 2027 are open now, and we strongly encourage families to enrol as early as possible.
The earlier we know your child is joining us, the earlier we can begin preparing for their transition. Early enrolment allows us to work alongside your child’s current school, understand their strengths, learning needs and interests, and begin planning the support and opportunities that will help them thrive at Taupō Intermediate.
The earlier we know your child is coming, the earlier we can start getting to know them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can enrol at Taupō Intermediate?
Taupō Intermediate caters for students in Years 7 and 8. We welcome enrolments from students within our enrolment zone as well as applications from outside the zone, subject to available places and our enrolment scheme.
Should I enrol if I’m still deciding between schools?
Yes.
We strongly encourage families to enrol even if they are still considering their options.
Submitting an enrolment helps us plan staffing, classes, and transition programmes. If your plans change later, you can simply let us know.
Can I withdraw my enrolment later?
Absolutely.
If your child decides to attend another school, simply contact our office and we’ll withdraw the enrolment. There is no penalty for changing your mind.
When should I enrol?
The earlier the better.
Early enrolments allow us to:
- plan classes carefully
- organise transition visits
- identify any additional learning or wellbeing supports
- ensure your child receives important enrolment information.
My child doesn’t attend one of your contributing primary schools. Can they still enrol?
Yes.
We welcome enrolments from all eligible Year 7 and Year 8 students.
Do I need to live in Taupō?
Not necessarily.
If you live outside our enrolment zone, your application will be considered in accordance with our enrolment scheme and available places.
When will I know which class my child is in?
Class placements are generally confirmed towards the end of Term 4 after enrolments have been processed and classes have been finalised.
Will my child have transition opportunities before they start?
Yes.
Our transition programme includes visits to contributing primary schools, opportunities to gather information from current teachers, and an Open Day later in the year for pre-enrolled students and their whānau.
These opportunities help students feel confident and connected before their first day.
Can I request that my child is placed with a friend?
Yes.
Families are welcome to make requests during the enrolment process. While we cannot guarantee every request, we carefully consider friendships alongside each student’s learning, wellbeing, and overall class balance.
My child has additional learning or wellbeing needs. What should I do?
Please let us know during the enrolment process.
The earlier we receive this information, the more effectively we can work with your child’s current school, whānau, and any outside agencies to ensure appropriate supports are in place from the beginning of the year.
Is there an enrolment fee?
Taupō Intermediate does not charge an enrolment fee. Information about voluntary donations, stationery, camps, and optional activities will be provided separately.
