Welcome back to Term 3. A special welcome to 5 new students; Anya, Maddy, Lucan, Joemer and Georgia.

Year 8 parents - we need your help with the organisation of camp raffles.

Over the holidays, students from OIS played in the North Otago Network Waitaki basketball competition.

You will no doubt have seen or heard in the media that teachers and principals have voted for strike action on 15th August. At this stage, it is set as a half-day strike in the afternoon. However, currently, there is a ballot being undertaken for teachers and principals in the NZEI union to increase this to a full day’s strike to make the government take more notice. The North Otago Primary Principals’ Association wish to inform you of the reasons around the decision to strike. We don't take this action lightly.
