Cultural Exchange Havelock North Intermediate has a long standing annual home and away exchange with Masterton

Haka. Students compete keenly to be part of these events.
There are wonderful opportunities for student growth and development through participation. In this
exchange Friendships made on these exchanges often last for years. The traditional last night concert

On site induction visits by year 6 students to H.N.I.

Student Induction
95% of families in year 7 considered their children
were settled and happy within the fi rst four weeks of
the school year.
96% of families indicated their year 7 students were
positive about their learning after four weeks of
school.
We place signifi cant importance on inducting new students into HNI. We want
happy confi dent students from week 1. This leads to high student engagement,
enjoyment and successful learning.
ERO 2014: “Transition to the Intermediate from Primary School is well considered and responsive to the
needs of students and their families”
Friendly / Respectful / Supportive
Gold Awards Our Gold awards are highly valued.
Students wear these with pride and are
respected by fellow students. When four
golds and two stars are earned, a student
can apply for an honours badge interview
with the Principal. Some exceptional
students can apply for a project called
‘Beyond Honours’ to receive an honours
bar.

student support. We achieve this within
classrooms, within specialist subjects and
in the playground.

Switched On Students - The World As Our Classroom
Blended LearningHavelock North Intermediate believes in providing students with the
opportunity to use a range of technology to develop 21st Century skills in a
supportive and engaging environment.
Charlotte: “I enjoy being apart of a
one to one class because it is not just
about devices. It is also a good way
for parents and the world to read and
comment on our work by accessing
our blogs.”
Emily: “Getting to be in a computer
class isn’t all about learning by
yourself. We do a lot of work in
groups. My parents love commenting
and looking at my blog.”
Lucy: “I love the advantages of
having my own computer, using
heaps of new apps, math games
and my own personal blog. I love
using blogs, as it is a way to show
my family and friends all of my
work.”
Amy: “I think that being in a
computer class is an advantage
because you can advance your
learning at home.”
Havelock North Intermediate has a range of options available to enable all students to have access to a device. In 2015, all students will work with a range of devices using sites, apps, extensions and programmes to personalise their learning.
All students will use Google Apps for Education, accessing their own email address, drive account and student blog. All classes will continue to use a class blog to share class experiences and student blogs will show the journey of each student’s achievement.
Tyler: “I think the one to one idea in classrooms is a great idea and helps excel learning, making it faster and more
interactive than ever. I have a disability called dyspraxia which gives me terrible hand-eye coordination, making writing
in books with a pen and pencil very messy and hard. I trialled the one to one experience in my old school and ever since I
have been in a one to one class and my work has improved greatly and has been much easier to accomplish.
