School Time
At Royal Oak Intermediate School the first bell rings at 8:40 am. We ask for your support in ensuring your child is at school by 8:35 am each day. This allows for them to catch up with friends briefly, get to class and get everything ready for the start of the day. The school day finishes at 3.00 pm.

Principal’s Message
Our school was one of the first intermediate schools to open in Auckland. We have a long and proud history of catering for the unique learning and developmental needs of intermediate students.
Our school vision statement reads: ‘Together empowering confident, motivated learners to achieve success in all walks of life’. Through this we promote the holistic development of your child, providing them with the values and initiatives necessary to be a strong, self-managing, twenty-first century learner. We meet this challenge by blending stimulating learning experiences with academic rigour and creative opportunities in a differentiated learning approach for every student.
We have high expectations for all learners, which is expressed through the Royal Oak Way: Ka Rere – To Fly. Rere is the Maori word for fly and it is also an acronym that lists our core values of Respect, Excellence, Resilience and Empathy. These four values permeate through all facets of life at Royal Oak Intermediate.
We welcome your contact and feedback as we partner with you to deliver a learning programme that lives, breaths and encompasses our vision statement.
We look forward to being a part of your child’s learning journey, as they become a part of the ‘Royal Oak Way’. Welcome to Royal Oak Intermediate!
