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

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.

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

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.
