As the year draws to a close, the Board has been busy developing the 2022-2024 Strategic Plan. The plan will be ready for you to view at the start of Term 1, 2022. In the meantime we wanted to share a summary of the feedback we received via the Parent Survey this term.
In recent weeks, some of our students sat the International Competitions and Assessments for Schools, more commonly known as ICAS.
Students start school on Thursday 3rd February. We have a Pōwhiri to welcome new students and staff to the school starting at 8:45 am. New students should arrive no later than 8:30 am and wait on the turf (bottom of drive near Bee Healthy). If your child requires them to see their learning space before the first day, please come in on Wednesday February 2 between 10:00 am- 12:00 am. All teachers will be available to meet any visiting whānau.

Could you spend 8 hours playing chess online? Five of our amazing students did just that as they represented Rāroa at the Chess Power Team Nationals Tournament.
Rāroa Normal Intermediate attracts amazing, high quality teachers who are specialists in middle school education. We are super lucky that all but one of our teachers will be returning in 2022.
