About Somerville Intermediate

Somerville Intermediate

I am a year 7 student at Somerville Intermediate. I am in room 28 and my teacher is Mr Crowhurst. At school we have an astroturf, 2 basketball courts and a new Gymnasium.

The Gymnasium was recently built for all-school assembles and rainy PE days. It includes a stage for the school productions, 2 full sized basketball courts, 3 full sized netball courts, a room built like a classroom and a kitchen.

We have a very extensive range at our school canteen. We have meat pies, wedges, fried rice, spaghetti bolognaise, butter chicken and even macaroni cheese. We have a range of cold drinks like slushys and LOL drinks.

At Somerville we have a place called the street. In ‘The Street’ we have our library, our computer lab, our canteen, our school hall, our PAC (Performing Arts Centre) plus Year 7 and 8 classrooms. Also, we have artwork done by our Year 7 and 8 students, trees and our house point chart. We have a student notice board with important notices about events and fundraisers.

Our school has a lot of great facilities. We are lucky to have a school with so much equipment, areas and facilities that most other schools don’t have.
