• Name — Cobham Intermediate School • Motto — Achieving For Life • Type — State co-ed intermediate (years 7 and 8) • Moe — 3323 • Principal — Eddie Norgate (2016–present) • Decile — 8 • Address — 294 Ilam Road Burnside Christchurch, New Zealand • Enrollment — Cobham Intermediate School is a state intermediate school in northwestern Christchurch, New Zealand, in the suburb of Burnside. Their 4 main values are: resilience | ngākau mārohirohi responsibility | ngākau whai tikanga positivity | ngākaupai respect | ngākau whakaute These values are abbreviated as “3RP@C”. Cobham was originally named Fendalton Intermediate. However, there was confusion between the school and Fendalton Open Air School, so the governor-general of New Zealand, Viscount Cobham, allowed the school to use his name. At the end of term 1 in 2011 long-running principal Trevor Beaton left Cobham Intermediate to retire. Scott Thelning from Mt. Pleasant School took over as principal in Term 3, 2011. In March 2018 Cobham student Maia Devereaux invited Women's Minister Julie Anne Genter to come and talk about the gender pay gap to the room 11 and 12 students. The school went through major renovations between 2020 and 2024, as all buildings were demolished and replaced by larger hapori classroom buildings—the names being Puneke, Takere and Kei—and a dedicated STEAM Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics unit.
