A warm welcome to the Howick Intermediate School community. A very special welcome to all our new families.

Dear Parents/Caregivers

It is wonderful to finally get the new school year underway. Our teachers are to be congratulated on their hard work and dedication that have ensured a very smooth start to the year. The students have settled quickly and already there is a lovely tone in the school.
 
We welcome all parents in our school, so if you have the opportunity to pop in and see your child’s class, please do so, remembering that if you need to talk about your child, you will need to email to set up a time.  We have provided a chance for you to do this more formally with the Meet-the-Whānau interviews next week.  However, we do not want you to feel that you need to wait for these planned opportunities to come to school or talk to the teachers, please feel that you can email them. 
 
Over the holidays we had several building projects under way that are now completed. Perhaps the most exciting project was our new 4 classroom block which hosts Batten Whānau.
 
Due to an increase with in-zone enrolments we will be growing the number of classes, so that we will have 21 classes across 5 Whānau. Our 5 Whānau are; Batten, Cooper, Hillary, Mansfield and Ngata.  Very exciting times of growth ahead!
 
Our partnership with you is of great importance to us. Please do not hesitate to make contact if you have any queries or comments. I will keep you informed of the developments here at Howick and look forward to sharing your child’s learning journey with you throughout the year.
