Principal’s Message

Being HEALTHY, an ongoing LEARNER, RESPECTFUL and SUCCESSFUL are a huge focus on the learning journey at Palmerston North Intermediate Normal. These four main concepts are embedded in everything that we do in and outside of the classroom and enables students to develop an understanding of how the ‘real world’ works.

We are a traditional school with high standards and expectations focused on excellence. Our intermediate continues the development begun at Primary School and provides students with a wealth of experiences and opportunities across the FIVE dimensions of learning - ACADEMIA, SPORT, CITIZENSHIP, CULTURAL and PERFORMING ARTS.

We are extremely proud of our hard working staff and their commitment to providing high quality programmes that recognise each child’s strength. There are multiple opportunities in and outside of school hours and we actively invite our wider community and parents to participate.

I encourage every student to jump on board, seek out new challenges and opportunities to get the most of their learning journey.
