Invercargill Middle School Tena koe and welcome to invercargill Middle School, Te Kura O Te Puna Wai Ora. Invercargill Middle

We build the sense of genuine community by using the concepts laid out in the Tātaiako document (2011):

Wānanga: participating with learners and communities in robust dialogue for the benefit of all learners’ achievement. Whanaungatanga: actively engaging in respectful working relationships with learners, parents and whānau, hapū, iwi and the wider community. Manaakitanga: showing integrity, sincerity and respect towards beliefs, language and culture. Tangata Whenuatanga: affirming learners as a part of their ethnic group. Providing contexts for learning where the language, identity and culture of learners and their whānau is affirmed. Ako: taking responsibility for their own learning and that of other learners. The school name
Initially the school name was Invercargill Grammar, it then changed to Invercargill Central and then to Invercargill Middle School, representing the Middle of town. The name “Te Kura o Te Puna Wai Ora” was given to our school by kaumatua Riki Cherrington. It comes from the fresh water spring that runs under the area around our school. The people used to stop here to rest on their travels between nga wahi pounamu and nga motu titi. The name also refers to education and the water of life and our children as the future.

“Tou kaha ra ki te mau te matauranga kia puta atu ki waho atu I tou kura, ka tika ena korero e koo Te Kura o te Puna Wai Ora-Invercargill Middle School

As a Mitey school we are proud to support Mitey in its goal to reach even more schools across Aotearoa. Mitey is calling on schools and tamariki across Aotearoa to get behind the Mitey Drive for Five.

Ākonga can register to fundraise for Mitey and if they raise $50 or more, they could win a spot on the field at Eden Park for the Mitey Match — Mitey's world-record-breaking attempt at the Bledisloe Cup® curtain raiser on 10 October.

At least 521 kids will take to the field alongside famous faces for one unforgettable match - and no rugby experience is needed.

Ākonga can register to fundraise on www.miteydriveforfive.co.nz
