Facilities

Whakatāne Intermediate School was first established in September 1968. It is built on the site backing on to Awatapu Lagoon and over the past 10 years has undergone significant changes to its buildings and the facilities it offers. The school has 24 classrooms (including a special needs unit), a technology block, gymnasium, multicultural room, auditorium, office block, and library. The school groups are extensive and we have multiple court areas, a confidence course, and full soccer and rugby fields.
