School houses
In 2006, under the guidance of principal Wayne Jenkins, the school houses were established as a way of creating competition among the school. These are useful for organising competitive teams in sports and cultural events. In 2014, a new house was added, named Cooper. The Cooper house contained the school's media classes. In 2015, Batten house was removed. Currently, the school houses are Cooper, Ngata, Hillary, and Sheppard, which apart from Cooper, are the same houses used for Awatapu College, also in Palmerston North. However at Awatapu College, Ngata becomes Green.
History
Ross Intermediate School was officially opened on 14 February 1958 by the Hon. P. O. Skoglund.
