Reminder: Parents are required to report their child's absence before 9am each day. We have had a large number of students arriving late to school each morning. School starts at 8.45am. Please ensure your child arrives to school on time.
Our preferred method of reporting an absence is Skool Loop. Please see information below for Skool Loop.
Other options for reporting an absence are:
text 022 327 5057 with your child's name and reason for their absence or
phone 4370822 and leave a message.
Please DO NOT send an email through to office@oamaruint.school.nz

Non-contact from parents will result in your child being recorded as truant. Please make this your priority in the morning if your child is away from school.
Any student who is running late in the morning or leaving for appointments during the day must come to the office and Sign In/Out on the Vistab system.
