Culture
The school draws from a large range of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. This has led to the formation of several cultural groups within the school, notably:
- Maori Club
- Cook Islands Club
- Samoan Club
- Nuien Club
- Indian Club
- Tongan Club
- Hip Hop
- E.C.A
- Cook Island Language Club
The Music Technology complex was opened in October 2000 by The Prime Minister of New Zealand Helen Clark.
Manurewa Intermediate also has a Morning Live school News, called MITV. It has useful information for students at the school (for example: fitness and trips). It is hosted by two students.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle- class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival. Indeed the attraction of black culture for disaffected whites suggests that black culture now speaks to a general condition.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
“Culture is the suggestion, from certain best thoughts, that a man has a range of affinities through which he can modulate the violence of any master-tones that have a droning preponderance in his scale, and succor him against himself. Culture redresses this imbalance, puts him among equals and superiors, revives the delicious sense of sympathy, and warns him of the dangers of solitude and repulsion.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... there are some who, believing that all is for the best in the best of possible worlds, and that to-morrow is necessarily better than to-day, may think that if culture is a good thing we shall infallibly be found to have more of it that we had a generation since; and that if we can be shown not to have more of it, it can be shown not to be worth seeking.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
