Hutt Intermediate School is a large (current roll 627), decile 8 co-educationalIntermediate School located in the Lower Hutt suburb of Woburn.

Hutt Intermediate was founded in 1948 and is a well established and popular school.We gather our children from seven local contributing schools; the rest of our studentpopulation is made up of out of zone enrolments. Our school is a vision-led school withan emphasis on effective, ongoing self-review processes and evidence-based practiceto enhance the learning opportunities available to our students.

We are the only co-educational school in this zone catering specifically for the social,emotional and educational needs of children in the 11–13 year age group. This agegroup is a crucial stage in children’s schooling as they pass through these years butonce. It is a time of rapid physical, emotional and social change and is a key stage ofdevelopment. With many students, intellectual interests and abilities begin to broadenin scope. Some develop these to considerable depth. Our aim is to provide the bestquality environment to ensure each student reaches his/her maximum potential.

Our school vision was developed with significant input from staff, children and members of our community and describes the school we want for our children. Our long term strategic direction is based around the following themes:

• Restorative Practices

• Effective Teacher Practice in Reading

• Effective Assessment Practices

• Modern Learning Philosophy

Ultimately it is a matter of parental choice regarding where your child spends their“middle years”. We would love Hutt Intermediate to be your school of choice. If you arestill undecided on where to send your child for their Year 7 and 8 schooling please donot hesitate to contact me on 939 8800 to make an appointment to visit the school andto talk with me.

Core Values

Our three Core Values of Excellence, Respect and Resilience underpin our expectations of how we interact with each other and how we approach our learning.

We acknowledge our Core Values in a variety of ways which include Gold Cards,Core Value certificates, and Core Value Blues.

Classes explore the Core Values and what they mean for themselves and others at the beginning of each year and these remain a focus throughout the year.

We believe these Core Values are life-long dispositions and qualities which will be beneficial to our students now and in the future.

Restorative Practice

At Hutt Intermediate we believe that positive relationships are fundamental in creating a learning environment where students and staff feel safe, valued, respected and appreciated. A key component of this is Restorative Practice. This is a process aimed at building, maintaining and restoring relationships.

Some of the ways we do this at Hutt Intermediate are:

• Circle time - to help build positivie relationships

• Chats - to help students and staff become aware of the impact of their actions, how to make things better and then move forward positively

• Language - how we talk to each other and being aware of the woods we choose.

We make every effort to ensure our students move confidently and naturally from theirprimary schools to Hutt Intermediate, and then on to secondary schools. The followingmajor steps are taken to assist children in moving from their contributing school. Similarsteps are taken in the transition to secondary school.

1. Parents are invited to an introductory visit to our school on the evening of Tuesday 4th July 2017 at 7pm.

2. Catriona Mathieson (Deputy Principal) and Sue Kinnear (Special Needs Coordinator) meet in Term 4 with the Year 6 teachers of contributing schools and discuss the learning needs of each student.

3. Information on each child’s attainment, personal qualities, home environment, abilities, interests, health, etc. is received from all contributing schools. This remains confidential.

4. As a personal introduction to Hutt Intermediate, each child visits this school with his/her Year 6 teacher near the end of the year.

Curriculum continued

Camp and Education Outside The Classroom

Year 8 students attend a camp and Year 7 students participate in an EOTC (EducationOutside The Classroom) programme. Dates and costs will be advised later in the yearfor camps, and early in 2018 for EOTC. Automatic payments for Year 8 camps can be setup anytime in Year 7.

Music Tuition

The Music Tuition programme at Hutt Intermediate gives each student the option to learn an instrument. There is a comprehensive list of instruments for students to choose from – Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Violin, Keyboard & Piano, Drum Kit & Percussion, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar and Bass Guitar.

All lessons take place during a school day across the week, generally in small groupsandare usually 30 minutes in length. We can also offer individual tuition in some instruments if time allows but lessons will cost more.

An administration fee of $40.00 per year is payabe to the school for one or moreinstruments in which a student enrols, as well as any relevant hire fees. All Music Tuitiontutors teach in a private capacity, independent of Hutt Intermediate and therefore theselesson fees are required to be paid directly to each tutor, not to Hutt Intermediate, by the second lesson of each term. Fees vary according to the number of weeks per term. In 2018, it is expected that each term will have 7-8 lessons depending on the length of the term (approx $96.00)

Another aspect of the Music Tuition programme is the opportunity for interested students to audition in Term 1 for a place in one of Hutt Intermediate’s bands. Two specialist band tutors are employed to mentor and inspire the selected band members during the year.The cost per student will be $320.00 for the year, payable by the end of Term 1.

Bands will have the chance to perform in performance assemblies, to other schools and in an evening concert for family and friends. Hopefully, all bands will compete in Term 3 in Bandquest (Intermediate off-shoot of Rockquest) and our best band will compete in the Wellington Battle of the Bands in Term 4.

All tutors within our Music Tuition programme are qualified, professional musicians withmany being members of ensemble groups, orchestras, choirs, musical theatre groups,percussion and rock/jazz bands. They share a passion for Music and the Arts in generaland very much enjoy passing on new skills to students. Music Tuition is all about learning and developing new skills, sharing these skills with other students and having fun along the way.

Homework

Students complete set homework. Parents are asked to support the staff by arrangingfor this to be done well. Providing children with quiet surroundings and good workingconditions in which to do homework will help in this regard. The students will benefit ifthey know that the school and home are working together.

Commitment

Your child will be offered a wide range of academic, sporting and cultural activities inwhich s/he may wish to be involved. When a commitment is made to any extra-curricular activity, students are expected to attend meetings or practices and demonstrate resilience by not giving up part way through.

Enrolment Scheme

Rationale

The Board of Trustees and staff of Hutt Intermediate School are committed to providingquality education for all children in the school. There is an optimum roll figure thatis determined by the physical resources of the school. Above this, the quality ofeducation delivered to the children is diminished. This enrolment scheme aims to avoidovercrowding by restricting the number of children enrolled at the school.

The Hutt Intermediate School Home Zone:

Students who permanently reside in the geographic zone designated by the Board ofTrustees of Hutt Intermediate School:

“The Northern Boundary of the zone will run from: Farrelly Grove, Summit Road,through and including Tilbury Street and directly crossing Waiwhetu Road (including337, 339 and 241 Waiwhetu Road) to Durham Crescent, Hampton Court, MitchellStreet, across High Street (including 725, 727 and 729 High Street) into Military Road,then follow a line directly across the Valley to include Wairere Road.

The Southern Boundary of the zone runs from the intersection of Gracefield Road andthe main road to Eastbourne to the Hutt River Estuary and from there to the Rail Bridgeat Sladden Park, along Wakefield Street to the Western Hutt Road, turning north untilopposite Railway Avenue then following the line of Miro Miro Road to the junction withDowse Drive. Then a geographic line to the Belmont Trig Station.

Eastern and Western Boundaries are the ridge line of the hills to the east and west ofLower Hutt”

NB: All residents, both sides of the street, any street whose only exit is onto a streetnamed in the zone as defined above as Priority One, shall be deemed part of the HuttIntermediate zone.

Home Zone Enrolments

Each year, applications for enrolment in the following year from in-zone students will besought by a date which will be published in a daily or community newspaper circulatingin the area served by the school. This will enable the Board to assess the number ofplaces which can be made available to students who live outside the home zone.
