Royal Oak Intermediate Royal Oak Intermediate Royal Oak Intermediate School is an intermediate school in Auckland, New Zealand. Established on 1 April 1943, it is set in just over 3 hectares of level grounds close to Royal Oak Shopping complex. The school was originally named Manukau Intermediate School, so called for the school's proximity to the Manukau Harbour. With the growth of Manukau City in recent years, the Board of Trustees decided in 1997 that it was time to affirm that it was an Auckland school: accordingly it was decided to rename the school to "Royal Oak Intermediate" to better reflect its location.
