General Information
Our Uniform
Our kura uniform is our pride and the expectation is that we will all take pride in wearing the uniform and then automatically becoming an ambassador for Maidstone Intermediate.
All classes have regular PE and fitness sessions each week. Ākonga are expected to change into PE uniform for these sessions, as well as when attending any sports practices.
For ākonga involved in practices before or after school, the PE uniform may be worn when travelling to or from kura. At all other times, ākonga must travel to and from our kura in full kura uniform.
Second Hand Uniforms
A second-hand uniform sale is held at our kura in January each year. Second hand uniforms can be purchased at other times from Maidstone Intermediate - contact the Office for further information. All funds raised from the sale of second-hand uniforms go towards extra resources for the kura.
Where To Purchase New Uniform
New uniform items are available to be purchased from NZ Uniforms in Petone.
