What Hastings Intermediate does

Hastings Intermediate School is a New Zealand state intermediate school serving Years 7-8 students (ages 10-13) in Hastings, Hawke's Bay, governed by a Board of Trustees under the Ministry of Education framework. The school delivers a comprehensive two-year curriculum spanning core academic subjects, arts (music, drama, kapa haka, Pasifika dance, visual art), sports (including a Sports Academy and codes from rugby to canoe polo), technology (materials, food, digital, science, sports science), and cultural programmes with explicit commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Five student houses named after local iwi landmarks (Rongokako, Kahungunu, Tukituki, Takitimu, Kahurānaki) underpin the school's identity and pastoral structure.

The school's digital operating stack is anchored on Linc-ed's HERO platform for student reporting, parent communication and online enrolment; the EPIC digital library (40,000+ titles, English and Spanish) accessed via Chromebooks; SchoolDocs for policy compliance; Sporty.co.nz for web and app delivery; and integration with the Ministry of Education's Te Rito data-sharing service. Students learn computational thinking and digital outcomes through Scratch, Micro:bits and a multi-platform robotics curriculum (FIRST LEGO League, VEX, NXT, EV3, Edisons, Maxbots). The school operates an approved home-zone enrolment scheme supplemented by a termly ballot for out-of-zone students.

Revenue is primarily sourced from New Zealand Government operational grants via the Ministry of Education and the Government Donation Scheme (~$150 per pupil, adopted 2020). Supplementary income streams include a mandatory $30 technology fee, optional $30 stationery packs, $110 marae overnight experience, fees for extracurricular music tuition and Sports Academy, and donations toward camps, trips and capital projects. Additional revenue flows through instrument lessons, after-school clubs (Table Tennis, Chess, Badminton), and optional paid programmes.
