As another busy week at OIS draws to an end, it is hard to believe we are three weeks away from the end of the term. I want to remind our students that we continue to work hard and embrace our IDEAL values to ensure that our students finish their term positively.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the students who have stepped up with our IDEAL values. I do believe the Intermediate age is a very special age when our students are starting to learn about themselves. A shout-out to our staff for their ongoing commitment to ensuring that Oamaru Intermediate is a place of positive, fun learning opportunities. Believe me when I say that they go above and beyond to ensure that we have a wide range of opportunities both cultural and sporting. To our Whānau/families, thank you for your understanding, support and your ongoing commitment to seeing your child be the very best that they can be. 

There has been a wonderful tone in the playground and classrooms this week. We are encouraging our students to show courage, to stand up for what is right, and show courage to do the right thing or to walk away. Students have enjoyed starting their second round of technology with some brilliant outcomes coming together.

Tomorrow I have the privilege of spending the day with teachers and support staff from our Community of Learning; OIS, WBHS, WGHS, Pembroke, Fewnwick and Te Pākihi o Maru. This is an incredible opportunity for us to come together to connect and learn. 

Thank you to the wonderful parents who have put their hands up to help manage or coach our sports teams. With so many children playing sports and participating in other activities we can't do it without your support.  On a similar theme, thank you to the many parents who are supporting classes at the Year 8 camps. This is a wonderful experience for our students and we are so grateful for our whanau support in ensuring our students get to camp.
