Tēnā koutou katoa, Malo e lelei, Talofa lava, Bula vinaka This week we celebrated our support staff team. We have an outstanding group of people who support within Oamaru Intermediate School. It is also important for me to acknowledge our B.O.T., who put in a considerable amount of resourcing to ensure we have a high level of support within our classroom programmes.

Here are some dates to remember of events happening throughout term two at OIS. Reminder: TUES 22 JUNE - TEACHERS PAID UNION MEETING, SCHOOL FINISHES AT 1.05 PM. FRIDAY 25 JUNE - TEACHER ONLY DAY, SCHOOL CLOSED.

Camp invoices were sent home on Wednesday with your child. Any credits or fundraising so far has been assigned to this invoice. $100 non-refundable deposit is due by the end of June. This can also include fundraised money to date.

Music Festival tickets are now available for ordering from our school office. Your name will not go on the list until we have received payment. Please do not ring the office and ask us to put tickets aside for you. They are non-transferable between the two nights, and OIS is performing on the evening of Wednesday July 7.

O.I.S is an Enviro School which means we continually look at ways of implementing sustainable practices in the running of our school.

Empty Paper Towel rolls wanted for STEM Programme. If you could save them and bring them to school that would be greatly appreciated. Maybe even some bottle tops too. Drop off at the office, please!

There was certainly some challenging work going on in class. We thank LJ Hooker and Sue for their donation and continued support at O.I.S.
