Welcome to Maidstone Intermediate: a school that caters for the needs of early adolescent students by providing a safe, stimulating and challenging learning environment.
 
Our well trained, enthusiastic staff specialise in providing high quality learning programmes for Year 7 and 8 students. We encourage a positive attitude and reward real effort. Our students are challenged to develop their skills and talents through a broad range of learning experiences. We offer specialist programmes in Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Foods, Fabrics, Hard Materials and Information and Communication Technology, along with extensive Cultural and Sporting opportunities.
 
How we behave towards each other at Maidstone is guided by our six core values: Respect, Responsibility, Manaakitanga, Integrity, Team work and Courage.   When we work together in a supportive and engaging learning environment we optimise the potential for success.
 
We pride ourselves on developing leaders. Our students are encouraged to take on a range of ‘real life’ responsibilities that will develop their leadership skills.
 
We understand the importance of strong partnerships with parents and caregivers. By working together we increase the chances of developing, self-reliant and motivated learners eager to experience new challenges. We encourage parent enquiries, and participation through PTA, class trips, and school events.
 
At such an exciting time in their lives, as they move from childhood to early adolescence, we aim to broaden their horizons. We believe that real learning happens when we find something we are passionate about. In order for your child to discover their passion, we encourage them to participate as fully as possible, in all that Maidstone Intermediate has to offer.
