At Fergusson Intermediate our teachers are committed to providing a rich, holistic place based local curriculum that engages our young people and provokes their curiosity. Our content, contexts, resources and delivery are all geared towards motivating and engaging the emerging adolescent. At this age (Years 10-13) the social and emotional brain is in overdrive and our programmes are designed to provide our students with opportunities to connect, collaborate and celebrate with other people both inside and outside the classroom.

Literacy and numeracy skills (foundation skills) are explicitly taught and used to support the learning across the curriculum. We use the assessment provided by our contributing schools to ensure our programmes match the needs of the students from day one. We have a strong focus on tracking and reporting on “value added” over the students two years with us at Fergusson Intermediate School.
