Languages
Ākonga who invest in a language during the critical middle school years boost their prospects for success later on in life. At Maidstone Intermediate, we encourage the learning of languages:
- It increases confidence and sense of personal achievement
- It lets one travel to new heights
- It creates more empathetic and thoughtful people
Te Reo
Te Kura Waenga ō Hinepōhatu (Maidstone Intermediate) is one of the few kura in our region that has a Poutoko Māori - a specialist to support the teaching and learning of Te Ao Māori.
Ākonga will experience and learn te reo, tikanga and te ao Māori. This will be explored through a Mana Whenua perspective.
Korean
Maidstone Intermediate will be the only Intermediate in the greater Wellington region to provide opportunities for our ākonga to learn Korean. These are taught by a specialist in their area.
