Howick Intermediate School

I attended this school from 2018-2019 and it was the most mentally draining intermediate I couldve been enrolled in. I got bullied on multiple occasions everyday. I was a bus monitor for our school bus that travelled before and after school and got blamed for trading cigarettes. I didn't such an act whatsoever. Who thinks that a 13/14 year old is trading cigarettes? I got blamed and harrased for it from students, to teachers to the principal. I was so mad at myself for not being able to stand up for myself. I still suffer from trauma from this school. Still have a big lump on my nose when I got beaten up. Yeah I might've been smart and won awards but doesn't takeaway the fact that I was bullied and nobody cares

I dont like this school, I went there for my year 7 and 8 year, never been to a more tricked up school

made me lose the will to live, bullied relentlessly, teachers didn't care, went in with a lot of hope and want to achieve, came out broken and scared. don't ever send your kids here

This is the worst school I have ever been to don't send your kids here.

I was bullied by multiple islanders on my first day of school. I basically became their puppet..

My 2 years there were amazing and memorable! Missing it so much :(

Lack of Maori Kaupapa (evident in school motto) Teacher expectations outlined regularly via email but fail to assist in assisting in a simple task of laptop setup integrating with daily studies. Major push back on parents to come the table. Cooking room looks its from the 90s with a teacher who transited from other teaching experiences and no worldly experience of being a chef, not a great school but a good area.

Made a whole lot of friends, but the thing about having year 7 and year 8 in the same class just made me feel dumb... for a year 7 its good but for a year 8 it wasnt... for me to be studying on the same level as someone who is a year below me didnt made me feel confident about my abilities becuase if i couldnt do something and they could. In fact it made me think that i was stupid, despite the fact that i just arrived in nz

I went to this school and I, I have no words that can describe the hatered the other students gave one another, the playground is horribe the drinking fountains oh dont get me started.
