Blockhouse Bay Intermediate

Can I just say that the people that didn't do 4 or 5 stars just hate school. There are great teachers there. My teacher is miss Parag and she's a great teacher. First of all, they make us do P.E for us to stay healthy and they have a great Haka too!

My siblings and now my children attend this school. It is multicultural. Bonus there is a dental clinic on site. Easy bus route.

My school is amazing it has a new playground being made and the amount of students learning are great and I recommend to sending your kids thereI'm in room 18 and it's the best class that I can be in tyBBIYasmin

Went here 20 years ago and this school has given me life long issues. Wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy.

Not a good experience with all my three kids , discrimination , communication , behaviour and learning all need to be develop . Sports activity limited . Teachers are bias and selective ! Sad

When I was in year 8, I was given a detention for an extremely trivial reason: forgetting to remove my beanie before entering the school grounds. I get that there is a uniform policy, but for something as insignificant as a beanie, which I could have just been asked to take off, I felt the school had taken things too far.Secondly, we werent allowed to use the bathrooms during breaks OR during classtime. The one time we were allowed, was at the very start of a break, which of course meant several people would have had to go at this time.Thirdly, the school seemed to just hate students in general. I always felt like I was walking on thin ice in this school. The smallest move, would set off teachers, and example of this being the beanie incident I described earlier. No matter how well behaved of a student you were, if you comitted the smallest crime"

There is very little focus on academics. Their main focus is on sports. There were many people in some Year 8 classes that didn’t know how to do single digit addition, that is very worrying. There were some people in the class, who got the wrong answer 5 times when asked “5 + 8” Also, they don’t always spend their donation money and budget on the right things to spend it on. There have been many articles in the news of this school inappropriately spending their budget. I highly do not recommend this school.

It's the best intermediate school in West Auckland

bad school didnt prepare me

Very bad school, everyone is sensitive, the teachers don't care about your learning. Principal is always grumpy - none of the teachers like him.
