The Tahuna Adventure

The staff at Tahuna Normal Intermediate School are specialists in early teenage education. We are dedicated to the task of helping you learn independently, think creatively, and make the most of the huge range of opportunities available to you.

Our wide range of subjects and activities and top teaching team are determined to ensure your individual needs are catered for. Our positive learning environment ensures that learning is safe, cooperative, challenging, interesting, and most importantly, fun!

Plus we are a special teacher-training school – that’s what the word “Normal” in our title means – with very close ties to the Dunedin College of Education. This ensures that we have teachers of the highest calibre, lots of young and enthusiastic student teachers adding to our educational environment, and keep up-to-date with the latest developments in educational research.

You may have some ideas already about where you want to go and what you want to do with life. You may plan to be the next Tana Umaga, or the world’s greatest painter. If so, there is no better place to pick up a rugby ball or a paintbrush. You may have no idea yet what the future holds. If so, you will discover exciting new ideas and gain the confidence to succeed at your goals. When you leave us in two years, you will be older and wiser, with new skills, new goals and a new base of lifelong friends.

And you will be as well prepared as possible to start out on your next adventure!
