About Te Puke Intermediate

Te Puke Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Te Puke, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 518 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 473. The school has been open since 1976.

With 518 students on roll, Te Puke Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 82% of New Zealand schools.
