Strong School With Clear Focus on Student Transitions
ERO's 2023 profile report presents Blockhouse Bay Intermediate as a school with genuine strengths in teaching quality, community relationships, and student wellbeing. The school is actively working with ERO to improve how it uses data to support students through key transition points — moving into Year 7, progressing through the school, and heading to high school. This is a collaborative improvement process, not a school under concern.
