Kia Ora, Talofa Lava, Malo e lelei, Kia Orana, Greetings

Intermediate school education focuses on the specific needs of 10 - 13 year old students.  Programmes and teaching strategies are specially tailored to cater for the academic, social and physical development needs of emerging adolescents.

It is our endeavour at Tokoroa Intermediate, to ensure to the best of our ability, that all students are making good progress in all curriculum areas.  At the request of the community, the school is targeting literacy and numeracy as learning areas needing special attention.  Timetabling hours, additional staffing, resources and Professional Development have been focussed on to achieve this.

In addition to academic achievement, we believe that it is important for students to be given opportunities to experience and excel in sporting, cultural and leadership activities.  We encourage all students to make the most of the opportunities the Intermediate provides in these areas.

The size of the school, resources at our disposal and staffing, enables us to provide a wide range of programmes to cater for the needs and interests of the students.

Like parents, we want the best for all children.  This can be best achieved in an atmosphere of friendly co-operation which involves the school, the students and parents.

When the students move on from Tokoroa Intermediate we hope that  they will have:

• Acquired the academic skills, knowledge and attitude to succeed in their secondary schooling.
• Become self motivated to achieve to the best of their ability.
• Developed the social skills to interact successfully with all groups in the community.
• The confidence and self-esteem to make the most of their personal attributes.
• Developed pride in the school and their personal achievements.
• Made the most of the opportunities available to them.
