Taradale Intermediate

Taradale Intermediate is a specialist school for the emerging adolescent — the 11 to 13 year olds of this world. This makes our school a special place, as our programmes, activities and events are geared specifically for this age group.

"... adolescence is an absolutely critical stage of development. It is a time of increased social awareness, dramatic physical change, a deepening sense of values, growing independence, and increasingly complex cognitive capacity."

— Professor James Beane

Our website will give you an informative insight into our world — students, parents and staff. We welcome all visitors to our school — parents, relatives, locals and visitors to Te Matau ā Maui Hawke's Bay. Please feel free to contact us with any queries or requests for further information.

With TIS being a busy place with lots on offer, please check in with your child to ensure that you are receiving all the information that you need. We know you will discover something new at Taradale Intermediate.
