Our Purpose: To prepare students to be active participants who will contribute to their community.

As part of the Oamaru Intermediate School Year 7 and 8 Health and PE Curriculum, your child will be taking part in the school’s “Positive Puberty” Programme at the start of Term 2.

These days are for 2025 enrolments and are happening in term 2, week 2. These are a chance for you and your child to walk through the school and see it in action, ask any questions and get a feel for the environment.

Thank you to all those families who have paid their Technology Contributions. Congratulations to Melissa Ani, Hilary Knight and Shannan Rapson who all received $100 New World Vouchers.

A reminder to all Year 8 parents...

Run by the Oamaru Intermediate School PTA, our major fundraiser 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.

After an in-school event, 2 inter-school events and many training sessions, we had two teams travel to Dunedin last night to the Otago Regional Final of EPro8.

Attention Youth Actors/Singers: Mattering is a political play about the lived experiences of youth who truant class and school. This play brings into the light real-life stories that have been pushed into the darkness. We hope to stir the audience to reflect, think about the action on stage, and to see the need for social justice. Student actors will have the opportunity to engage professionals, decision-makers, and community members in a post-performance discussion about truancy, based on the voices of the marginalised youth showcased in the play.

With the winter months approaching, we have just ordered new navy school soft shell jackets. These are available at the school office. Sizes 10-16 $75, Sizes S, M, L, XL, XXL $85.
