Facilities

Auditorium

Our Auditorium provides a magnificent venue to support the creative talents of our outstanding dance, drama, cheerleading and music students. This facility is available for school and community events, and is well equipped with state-of-the-art sound and lighting.

Information & Communication Technology

Glen Eden Intermediate School is well resourced in this area and is a  recognised leader by the Ministry of Education in this field, with highly skilled teachers and up-to-date equipment. As well as having at least two computers per classroom that students use to assist in their class work, students participate in ICT classes in our ICT suite. These are equipped to ensure a ratio of one computer between two students. In addition to this, GEIS has eight pods of "Computers on Wheels". These travel to each classroom for a week and come with a teacher to assist the class in their learning. All computers are connected through a comprehensive school-wide network. Students have their own personal username and password, which allows them access to email, the Internet and a range of communication resources, upon signing an acceptable user policy.

Video Conference Room

In 2008 we received funding from the Portage Licensing Trust to purchase state of the art Video Conferencing equipment. This enables our students and staff to communicate instantaneously with other organisations around the world.

Technology Building

This building houses a Design Technology Room, Hydroponics Room, Food Technology Room, Soft and Hard Materials Rooms, Television Studio, Art Room, two classrooms, one of our ICT suites and an atrium for displaying students work.

Students produce a daily television show, which includes news and video clips of current events. This is broadcast live to each classroom through our television network.

Swimming Pool

We have a 25 metre heated pool, which provides all students with an opportunity to participate in swimming programmes during Term 1 and 4. These are for every class, catering for individual levels. School and zone swimming sports are a focus, along with lunchtime swims and special swimming programmes.
