We are proud of the achievements and success of both staff and students at Maida Vale. Staff at this school have been nominated for Teacher of the Year Awards and many students, both past and present, have been accepted into Academic Excellence programmes, specialist art, music and sport programs as well as receiving academic and music scholarships. Students have also received many accolades and awards for participation and merit in academic, sporting and cultural activities and competitions.
