Welcome to Mt Roskill Intermediate

Whakapuāwai-To Thrive

Thank you for taking the time to find out about our wonderful school.

If you are looking for a school where your child will be safe, grow in confidence and develop a ‘tool kit’ of skills to take them into their secondary schooling, you have come to the right place!

We want our students to thrive in every aspect of their life . Our programmes, initiatives and approaches to learning foster this.

We believe that students learn best when they are happy, feel safe and know that they are valued. This is the environment that we work hard to create and maintain.

We welcome your input and involvement! By working together with you we can help your child to really get the most from their learning.

We look forward to building a strong and lasting relationship with you and your child as they move through our school.

Ko ia kāhore nei I rapu, tē kitea. He who does not seek will not find.

Important School Access Update

Mon Sep 21 09:20pm

Dear Parents/Caregivers,
 
Important School Access Update: We are pleased to announce that the Denbigh Ave Bridge replacement project is finally complete and will be open to traffic tomorrow.


To ensure that the school driveway is not used as a thoroughfare, the swing gate after the Tennyson centre drop off bay will be closed until the hall roofing remediation is completed. Direct vehicle access to the school office will be via the Denbigh Ave Bridge in the interim. 


Please use surrounding streets for drop-offs and pick-ups. 
Only staff vehicles are permitted on school grounds.
 
Thanks,

Moana Jr. School Production – Important Information

Mon Sep 21 11:56am

Our incredible show of Moana Jr is just a couple of days away from being performed.  We are excited and can’t wait!


Due to the current construction works, we have some exposed parts of the hall, so if you are coming to the show, PLEASE DRESS WARMLY.  


There is very limited parking on site, so please ensure you allow yourself enough time to find a park on the surrounding streets. The show starts promptly at 7pm.


We still have a few tickets available for both Wednesday and Thursday shows, so you can either pop into the school office or log into Kindo to purchase yours now, or alternatively we will have door sales on the night from 6.30pm.


Thanks, we look forward to seeing you there.

Park and Stride project – Have your say

Wed Aug 26 03:22pm

Mt Roskill Intermediate is working with Seacliffe Productions on a Park and Stride project to make it easier for families to drop students a short distance from school so they can walk the final part of their journey.


Below is a map showing the proposed walking routes and suggested pick-up and drop-off locations.


We would really value your feedback on whether the maps and routes are easy to understand, whether the proposed locations make sense, any concerns you can see, and any ideas for making the maps more useful and encouraging more families to use the Park and Stride routes.


Please take a few minutes to look at the maps and complete the short survey using the link provided:
