Welcome to Birkdale Intermediate School. Our vision is to provide a quality education in a caring environment. We are a school committed to both academic and personal development. We balance academic work with a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities to develop confident strong young people ready to contribute to society. Our priority is the stimulation of independent enquiry and intellectual curiosity.
Teachers at Birkdale Intermediate are dedicated and work hard to provide a balanced, challenging programme that encourages academic excellence. Staff are keen to participate in ongoing programmes of professional development to enhance their teaching abilities and skills.
All academic programmes are well planned and the school is continuing to develop ways to ensure that accelerate students and the special needs of children are catered for in order the each child’s potential is realised. An increasing emphasis is being placed on literacy, numeracy, science and technology, and the school aims to prepare each student for success as life time learners.
We focus on the key competencies from the New Zealand Curriculum. These include thinking, using language, symbols, and text, managing self, relating to others and participating and contributing. The development of thinking skills is a feature of our programmes. We have a high speed computer network with easy access to desktop computers and iPads that allows our students to look outward to the wider connected World.
