- Breakfast and lunch club: our school is a part of the Kidstart Weetbix Programme. Your child is welcome to go to the food room before school and at lunchtime if they need breakfast or lunch. This is open to anyone and we do not take a role. Often students will come into this club if they have forgotten to eat breakfast or bring their lunch.
- Absences/Late: if your child is away from school for any reason, it is important that you phone the school office or email the classroom teacher. To ensure that we get the right information, please leave your child’s full name, room number and reason for absence. Absences must be rung in by parents to the school office (4370822) before 9 am each day or text 0223275057. If your child is late or leaves school for any reason they must come to the school office and sign In/Out using the Vistab tablet.
- Uniform: At OIS we wear our uniform with pride every day. If your child is going to be out of uniform for any reason, they need to have a signed note from a parent/caregiver. This needs to be given to Mrs Meek or Mrs Hirst who will assign your child a uniform pass.
- Hats: it is important that your child has a blue navy hat at school every day, this can be a cap or bucket hat. Caps are available from the school office for $8 (cash only).
- Phones: if your child needs to bring a phone to school it must be turned off and handed into their classroom teacher at the start of the day. It will be kept secure until the bell rings at the end of the day.

Skool Loop App
From this term, we will be rolling out Skool Loop, a way of communicating with our families. This, in time, will enable us to provide an online and direct way to communicate notices and permission slips to all of our families. A way for our families to communicate absences regardless if there is any data on your mobile so absolutely no cost/charge for you. The app is free to download from Apple and Playstore and is very user friendly.

Year 8 Technology
Year 8 Technology started today, Thursday. This year we intend to focus more heavily on the practical side of the Technology curriculum, which means it is essential that students are present for all four of their Technology days - if they miss a day, or even part of a day, it is difficult to catch up and may mean they are unable to complete outcomes.

Oamaru Intermediate School uniform shoes
We have had a number of questions related to school shoes. Students are required to wear plain black leather lace-up shoes. The shoe and sole of the shoe must be black, no big branding detail on the shoe. Canvas shoes and other casual shoes are not suitable. The important aspect to consider is that your child will be wearing these shoes while in our technology rooms where safety is paramount and must be adhered to. This is applicable from the first day until the last day of the year.
