The start of the year is an exciting time at Oamaru Intermediate. The classes are abuzz with talk, with engagement, and the establishment of new connections and relationships being formed. We also think about our goals and direction for the year, and beyond, and even more so right now. Starting last year, we have been analysing our Strategic Plan, which includes our vision, our mission and our school values. This journey came about due to so many global and societal changes over the past few years. Schools have been placed in everything, from technology and social media to finance, and in New Zealand, a renewed curriculum. As part of this journey, we would appreciate your help with a survey about our Strategic Plan. More details are included below.
