Programmes
Introduction Programmes at Havelock North Intermediate commonly feature the following:
- learning activities in which students investigate issues and solve problems of interest to them;
- a balanced curriculum which emphasises discovery and exploration; and encourages higher order thinking as keys to successful learning;
- opportunities to see the relevance of learning by applying it in a practical way to solve real problems;
- learning activities and experiences (both in and outside school) which enables all students to succeed regardless of previous achievement.
- schemes that are not so prescriptive that they stifle creativity and the opportunity to capture the teachable moment.
Teachers adapt the programme to the students to ensure the curriculum focus for each emerging adolescent is on personal development as well as on academic achievement.
We focus on educating the whole child, emotionally, intellectually, socially, personally. Students are challenged with opportunities to participate in a range of academic, cultural, sporting and technology programmes. Havelock North Intermediate School continues the development begun at Primary School but adds a new range of learning opportunities to meet the broadening interest and development requirements of the pre-adolescent. |
