Naumai Haere Mai,

Welcome to Ilminster Intermediate

At Ilminster Intermediate, our vision Te Taumata o Angitu – Simply the Best underpins everything we do. We are proud to be a school where every learner is at the centre of our mahi, where they are valued, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential.

The intermediate years are a time of remarkable growth, discovery and adventure. At Ilminster, students are given the opportunity to explore their passions, develop new talents, and build the skills and confidence they need for their next steps. Whether your child comes from around the corner or across the city, they will find a place here – one where relationships flourish, differences are celebrated and every learner belongs.

Our values, Respect, Responsibility, Positivity, Safety, and Inclusion, guide us each day and help create a positive and purposeful learning culture. We set high expectations for behaviour and learning, underpinned by warm relationships and a genuine commitment to student wellbeing.

We have an exceptional team of teachers and staff who deliver a rigorous and rich curriculum while also providing experiences that extend well beyond the classroom. From the arts and sports to clubs, leadership and cultural opportunities, there is something for everyone at Ilminster.

We also understand that adolescence is a time of transition. Our tamariki are developing independence and identity, but still need the support of the adults in their lives. That’s why we value strong partnerships with whānau, together we can ensure each learner feels seen, supported and inspired every step of the way.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Ilminster. We encourage you to explore our website, download our prospectus, and discover how your child can thrive here in our vibrant learning community.

Ngā mihi nui,

Jonathan Poole
