Houses

We have 4 houses at Birkdale Intermediate School. Kauri (Blue), Matai (Yellow), Rata (Red) and Rimu (Green).

Student Houses

Every student will be placed in a house at the beginning of each year by their Whānau teacher. You will receive 2 house sleeve badges, one to be ironed on the sleeve of your PE gear, and one for your school jumper.

House Points

There should be a dedicated place in your rooms to collect house points. House points are our school wide reward system which you should use for all classes in your care.

House points will be collated, and a running total should always be shown.

Whaea Mel will send her house point monitors around on a Thursday during Wā Whānau time to collect results. These are tallied for Weekly house competition and also the end of year House Cup. At the end of each term the winning house will receive a mufti day as a reward.
