Coronavirus - Covid19

The Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health are in constant contact with schools in New Zealand, updating us every couple of days. Communication to you will be via Facebook UNLESS there is an important change in circumstances that we need you to know about, we will email you in this instance. At the moment we have several children each day coming to school feeling unwell with sore throats and coughs. We can't stress enough to keep your child at home if they are unwell or to collect them from school if they become unwell. We do not have facilities or personnel to look after sick children for the day, nor is it our role.

PTA fundraiser - Our target is for everyone to sell 30 bars of chocolate for $2 each.

Chocolates will be sent home with your child this Friday, tomorrow. If we can pull together as a school community and achieve this it means that each child will fundraise $24 for OIS and we would have $7,680 to invest in school projects to benefit all students.
