Students have a broad and rich mathematics programme for an hour each day. The focus is on developing and applying a deeper understanding across all areas of mathematics, including number, algebra, statistics, measurement and geometry.

Feilding Intermediate has a specialist technology team that offers students practical knowledge and skills as they develop models, products, digital media and systems across a range of contexts. Graphics and other forms of visual representation offer important tools for exploration and communication. Adaptation and innovation are at the heart of technological practice.
BYOD - Rawa Matihiko
All students are encouraged to bring a personal Chromebook to school, which is stored securely in classrooms. Although BYOD is not compulsory, there are advantages to students having their own devices. At Feilding Intermediate, you will see a balance of work completed on devices and in books.
Note: Students without devices will be able to use shared class Chromebooks.
