Howick Intermediate School
The school was originally built in 1937 and opened as Howick District High School. It was primarily built as a closer school for the Royal New Zealand Fencible Corps, many of whose families had settled in the surrounding suburbs of south and south-east Auckland. In 1966 the school was re-established as Howick Intermediate School.
School facilities include a technology block, a swimming pool, a large field equipped with a fitness circuit, a library and information centre, and a school hall. The school hall facilities are utilized by numerous groups in the weekends.
In February 2000 two 11-year-old boys from Howick Intermediate drowned at a swimming hole in the Kauaeranga River while on a school camp.
In 2007, the school won a Mainstream Merit Award, an award offered by the New Zealand Government for recognition of successful placement and integration for employees with disabilities.
