Making a difference in our community - OIS is having a MUFTI DAY on FRIDAY 17 June. To be included in the mufti day we are asking students to bring a can, or more, of food to help stock the Oamaru Food Bank. This means that students can wear their normal clothes for the day. REMINDER that we are also finishing at 1.15 pm on Friday due to an NZEI stop work union meeting.
WELL DONE O.I.S. community - THANK YOU. An overwhelming response with a total of 746 cans has been donated today from you. The Oamaru Foodbank are extremely grateful for the donation. Yay us... for making a difference in our community.

We were able to purchase 32 jackets with a Community Group Grant from Waitaki District Council in 2021. The jackets will be able to be used by Year 8 students during Camp week. Looking great guys!
ONLINE BOOKINGS ARE NOW CLOSED. These will take place next Wednesday 8 June. It is expected that you and your child will meet with their classroom teacher.
