Welcome to Masterton Intermediate School

Masterton Intermediate School

Masterton Intermediate School was established in 1960 and following the School Review in Masterton in 2003, our school remains the only full intermediate in Masterton. 
 
During 2009 our roll has been made up from students from every state school in the area. We also attract students from the surrounding farming districts as well as a number from South Wairarapa.
 
Masterton Intermediate School provides a safe, caring and supportive environment where children are encouraged to participate in the many academic, sporting, arts and cultural areas that are on offer. Our staffing team consists of a well balanced team of both youth and experience, who are all dedicated to providing the best educational opportunities for children of the intermediate age level.
 
Intermediate Schools are designed to ensure that they can provide for the rapid change in the physical, social, intellectual and emotional needs of the young adolescent child. Masterton Intermediate School provides challenging options for Year seven and eight students within the Wairarapa with:
 
  • Strong core curriculum programmes mixed with broad based programmes using specialist teachers.
  • Extension and remedial opportunities in maths, language, science.
  • Environmental programme including farm, waterfowl, horticulture, beekeeping and the environmental science centre.
  • Instrumental lessons available in clarinet, drums, flute, guitar, saxophone, trumpet, trombone and violin.
