Here are some dates to remember of events happening throughout Term two at O.I.S.

Pink Shirt Day is about working together to stop bullying by celebrating diversity and promoting kindness and inclusiveness. It’s about creating a community where all people feel safe, valued and respected, regardless of gender, identity, age, ability, religion or cultural background. O.I.S. is doing something a little different for Pink Shirt Day. Instead of Pink Shirt Day, we are having a WEAR SOMETHING PINK day: so SUBSTITUTE uniform item/s for something that is pink.

Run by the Oamaru Intermediate School PTA, our major fundraiser run by our school P.T.A is the sale of snack-sized Whittaker’s Chocolate bars. The success of this delicious and popular fundraiser will provide us with funds to assist our students in many ways such as enabling guest speakers, providing in-class devices, P.E equipment and E.O.T.C.

BOOKINGS ARE OPEN MONDAY 15 MAY at 12:00 noon. These 15-minute conversations are an important part of our learning programme. They allow you as parents to be informed of your child’s progress and what they need to be doing to make further gains. These will take place on Wednesday 7 June. We are asking you, if possible, to keep your child at home on that day, as the Learning Conversations will be from 8:15 am - 6:15 pm. If you are unable to keep your child at home, we have teachers that will supervise your child. Please contact the office on 4370822 to inform us if your child needs to be at school that day.

GLOBAL GAMBLE combines high-energy sketch comedy with improvisation to entertain and educate students through four key science-based messages encouraging sustainable consumption, energy efficiency, and conservation - with a core focus on STEM and green careers.

Once again, thank you to LJ Hooker Oamaru and Sue Gaze for their donation and continued support of Oamaru Intermediate School. This donation will go towards our library furniture refit and was accepted by Rocky Blair.
