Palmerston North Intermediate Normal School (commonly known as PNINS - said PIN-INS) is a state coeducational intermediate school for year seven and year eight, boys and girls located in the central area of Palmerston North, New Zealand.
Students are placed in a composite class on the first day of Year 7 where they will remain for the two years of their time at the school.
The school has an annual sports exchange with Hāwera Intermediate school and an annual performing arts exchange with Taradale Intermediate school.
PNINS are also a regular participant at the AIMS Games in Tauranga each year.
The school was founded in 1941.[1]
The building was used as a military hospital in World War II for wounded soldiers. And many of the doors in the main building were double hinged to allow stretchers to be transported more easily, most still remain.
