Mount Maunganui Intermediate

 

 

We Provide Quality Education That
Inspires Children to Succeed.

Curriculum Programme

Programmes at Mount Maunganui Intermediate School commonly feature the following:

· Learning activities in which students investigate issues and solve problems of interest to them

· A balanced curriculum which emphasises discovery and exploration and encourages higher order thinking as keys to successful learning

· Opportunities to see the relevance of learning by applying it in a practical way to solve real problems

· Learning activities and experiences (both in and outside school) which enable all students to succeed regardless of previous achievement

Schemes that are not so prescriptive that they stifle creativity and the opportunity to capture the teachable moment

Teachers adapt the programme to ensure the curriculum focus for each student is on personal development as well as on academic achievement.  

We focus on educating the whole child: emotionally, intellectually, socially and personally. Students are challenged with opportunities to participate in a range of academic, cultural, sporting and technology programmes.

Although the homeroom teacher teaches most of the subjects, specialist teachers deliver the Arts and Technology programme.

We also regroup according to ability for Mathematics. Students are placed in a Mathematics group with other students who are working at the same level. This means that they will never feel bad about not being able to keep up with those that find Maths easy and they will never be frustrated waiting for those who find Maths difficult. It is likely that the student will have a different teacher for Maths but he/she will always have others from his/her class in this Maths group.

A comprehensive ESOL programme is in place for students of other languages.
