About us
We are a Decile 3 multicultural Intermediate school situated in central Hastings, Hawkes Bay. Our school community consists of almost five hundred students and forty staff.
Hastings Intermediate has a sister school in Fiji. Namara school on Wayalailai Island has been our sister school for six years. We have hosted the principal, staff and students from Namara school to Hastings Intermediate and in return our Principal visits Namara school each year with our twenty school prefects. There they teach lessons, play sport and assist the school and village with their educational programmes and student achievement. We are fundraising to support our sister school with clothes for the students, basic food items like rice and flour for their families and to assist them in rebuilding their library, classroom teaching tools and basic sports gear all lost in the recent cyclone.

Update for 21/01/2013 21 January 2013
As at the 21st of January we have the following updates: Mr Neill has returned from Fiji with a list of equipment and medical needs for the island. After the success of our two recent BBQ's at the Warehouse in Napier we have decided to hold another three! We have also selected three students: Latu Amani from H.B.H.S. Dana Piwari from H.G.H.S. and Miami Walsh from Karamu High school to travel to Namara school with Mr Neill and myself in late March and deliver relief packs for villages. These packs will include medicine, clothing and some basic food items. I have also posted some new photos showing clearly the devastation and damage of the cyclone. Pleas continue your support - we have had 35 people offer to help with the BBQ's - over 20 students from high school who are all ex leadership academy students have fronted to sell sausages, cakes and raffle tickets in their summer break. So well done everyone and keep supporting this appeal as we hope to reach up to $14,000 by late March.
