			Welcome to Wanganui Intermediate School
			A word from the Principal Wanganui Intermediate is committed to providing a stimulating learning environment. Our Mission Statement is “Educating Today for Tomorrow.” We believe that ten to fourteen year olds are very special people and we know that this is a crucial development time for them. They experience more growth, both emotionally and physically, than at any other time in their lives. Our school specialises in this age group. There are several key features of Wanganui Intermediate that make it a successful school.
			The Teaching Staff Our teachers are this school’s most valuable resource. It is the quality and enthusiasm of the teaching staff that is the key factor in determining that successful learning takes place. At Wanganui Intermediate we have a professional, enthusiastic staff that are committed to the idea that every student is special and will experience intellectual growth.
			The Curriculum We have the resources that focus specifically on this age group. Our focus for curriculum is aimed at catering for the learning needs of every student, whether they need accelerate or remedial programmes. We shape the curriculum to ensure that our students receive a balanced and exciting education. Our specialist teachers in technology, ICT, Science and Art ensure that the students receive expert tuition in these curriculum areas.
			The Facilities The school has excellent facilities that we continue to refurbish and enhance. We have specialist technology rooms offering programmes in food, robotics, and hard materials technology. Our science teacher enjoys a full science laboratory and our computer network includes computers in every classroom linked to a central computer suite. We have a specialist performing arts centre that houses a suite of electronic keyboards, digital piano and a wide range of audio-visual equipment.
			The Co-Curricular Opportunities We provide a wide range of sporting, cultural and recreational activities that create additional opportunities for all students to experience success in individual and team pursuits. Opportunities are available in performance (dance, drama, Kapa Haka and music) and students are encouraged to join sports teams, participate in international languages and learn musical instruments.
