Heretaunga Intermediate

Heretaunga Intermediate School History
Our Intermediate was officially opened by the mayor, Mr Ron Giorgi, on March 17 1960.

Vision
A united school that is relevant to the students, to equip them for life

Values
RESPECT – PRIDE – COMMITMENT

School Motto & Crest
Our school motto is – Character and Knowledge – Growth of self knowledge and character attained at school. Our school crest reflects the special features of our local area including the Heretaunga Plains, sea and rivers, the hills, Maori migration by canoe, and

the contributing schools. It was initially called Hastings Intermediate No. 2 and had a roll of 230 pupils. The name Heretaunga was adopted in late 1960, and its literal Maori translation is “Here” – a tying up place and “Taunga” – to become closely acquainted meaning ”a gathering place where the canoes were tied up”.

🎨 10 DAYS UNTIL THE COLOUR FUN RUN! 🎨

The countdown is officially ON! In just 10 days, our school field is turning into a full-blown explosion of powder, smiles, and awesome memories! We even have a teacher VS student event planned!

We are so close to our fundraising goal, but we need one final push to help send our students on an unforgettable trip to Wellington for school camp! Camp creates lifelong memories, independence, and incredible learning opportunities, and every dollar raised helps make it possible for our kids.

How you can help today:
1️⃣ Share your child’s online fundraising link with friends, family, and colleagues.
2️⃣ Check out the cool rewards still waiting to be unlocked on the portal.

Let's make this the most colorful, highest-raising run yet and get our kids to Wellington! 🌈🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Our draw for our Napier Toyworld prize for the previous 2 draws was Nova Calman and Georgia Harding.

A huge thank you to Frimley, Ebbett Park, Raureka, Camberley and Mahora schools for helping make our Year 6 visits possible. These visits create valuable opportunities to build whanaungatanga, strengthen connections between our kura, reconnect with past students and meet new faces.

We had a fabulous three days making memories with you all.

Looking forward to seeing you at our Open Evening on Wednesday 2nd September.

A very cool opportunity for some of our talented Heretaunga musicians today as they take part in a combined orchestra event alongside students from other kura.

They are coming together with other young musicians, learning from one another and experiencing what it is like to be part of a much larger ensemble.

We are so proud to see our ākonga representing Heretaunga and sharing their musical talents. Ka rawe! 🎶

Proudly Heretaunga 💙
