Avondale Intermediate School is unique, reflecting Auckland’s diversity.
Our aim is to ensure your child’s two years of intermediate education are enjoyable, challenging and full of learning.
At Avondale Intermediate School we recognise that these two years are ones of rapid physical and emotional growth for students. Our connected curriculum is responsive to student-focused learning and the development of lifelong learners. The learning environment supports student engagement and opportunities to foster student leadership.
We expect students to make the most of the diverse range of opportunities on offer and to become active members of our learning community.
Our teachers are committed and dedicated. They understand the importance of positive relationships and bring to our school a wide range of passions and experiences. They are tremendous role models who foster a positive attitude towards learning.
We invite all students and their families to join us on our learning journey here at Avondale Intermediate School where we take possibilities and turn them into passions.
We trust that this journey will be a warm and rewarding experience and look forward to partnering with you.

Seek the treasure you value most dearly: if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain
