Welcome to Fairfield Intermediate School

Principal's Welcome

Kia Ora Koutou, Greetings

We extend a warm welcome to all prospective students and their whaanau. We are extremely proud of our school, its rich history and the many outstanding achievements of our students. I would like to thank you for taking the time to find out a bit more about what our school can offer.

Fairfield Intermediate School is a vibrant, multi-cultural intermediate school that specialises in catering for the learning and pastoral needs of Year 7-8 learners. We recognise and understand that these can be the most critical years in a young person’s life as they are maturing physically and developing emotionally. Within our school we have the expertise and resourcing to concentrate solely on our Year 7 and 8 students, giving them the opportunity to further develop their knowledge, skills and confidence in a safe and supportive learning environment. From Fairfield Intermediate School, our students go on to a range of high schools across the Waikato and beyond and we work hard to ensure that, as a school, we are providing a smooth pathway for students, setting them up for success as they continue on their educational journey.

Our school vision, ‘Exceptional Learners, Exceptional Place’, encourages our students to reach for the stars and this is underpinned by our school values of Whanaungatanga, Manaakitanga and Kaitiakitanga. As Fairfield whaanau, we stand tall with pride and we hold the belief that together as a united and diverse learning community we are stronger and can learn and grow with each other - whiria te tangata - weaving the people together. Our ultimate goal is for our students to become confident citizens and life-long learners who will contribute positively to the community and who will go on to reach their full potential.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, the staff and current students, I look forward to welcoming you and your child to our school and we look forward to working in partnership with you for the benefit of your child and their learning.
