Mount Maunganui Intermediate

 

 

We Provide Quality Education That

Inspires Children to Succeed.

Curriculum Programme

Teaching and Learning at Mount Maunganui Intermediate is based upon the New Zealand Curriculum.  Integrated units of work are collaboratively planned with an emphasis on the key competencies and what our learners need to learn.   Instructional group teaching in literacy and numeracy is also a priority in our classrooms.

 

 

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.
