Black Ferns visit Maidstone Intermediate

Thanks to Toyota New Zealand and New Zealand Rugby, the Black Ferns made a special visit to Maidstone Intermediate for an afternoon filled with inspiration, connection, and fun.

The afternoon began with a powerful welcome from the school, as students performed their haka and waiata, setting the scene for what would be an unforgettable visit.

The Black Ferns then joined the school for a Q&A session, where students had the chance to ask their questions and hear first-hand what life is like at the top level of rugby. The session even turned competitive, with an impromptu press-up challenge that had the entire room cheering and laughing.

From there, it was time to get moving. The Black Ferns and students participated in a series of skill and drill activities, allowing students to learn from the best while having plenty of fun along the way.

The afternoon wasn’t just about rugby techniques; it was about connection, encouragement, and inspiring the next generation. For the students of Maidstone Intermediate, it was a day to remember.

These partnerships help connect our grassroots communities with New Zealand’s sporting heroes.
