Primary school in Whangarei, New Zealand
Located in Whangarei, New Zealand, Kamo Intermediate is a Primary school.
Primary schools in New Zealand typically cover Years 1–6 (ages around 5–10), and in some communities extend to Year 8. The programme focuses on strong foundations in literacy and numeracy alongside a broad curriculum that includes science, social studies, technology, the arts, health and physical education. Classrooms emphasise curiosity, problem solving and the key competencies of the national curriculum—thinking; using language, symbols and text; managing self; relating to others; and participating and contributing.
For international students, primary schools provide welcoming, student-centred environments with a focus on wellbeing, inclusion and early language support where needed. Learners benefit from small-group teaching, hands-on activities and outdoor learning that make the most of New Zealand’s safe communities and natural surroundings. These early years help children develop confidence and essential skills that set them up for success in intermediate and secondary schooling.
