Congratulations to all of our sports teams who have been away participating in Summer Tournament Week and the Maadi Cup. We celebrate all of their successes and the efforts they have put in. Equally we celebrate all of our students who participate in sport, cultural and other activities, both in and out of school. We celebrate the parents who put in this big effort and encourage you to share news and photos with Mrs Cheree Henderson who manages our social media accounts and loves to highlight all the amazing things that go on here. 

School donations are an important part of making our school magic happen. Please check your child’s account to see current statements. These also include course contributions which are essential for delivering the rich curriculum opportunities we provide. All courses have trips, materials, workbooks and other resources that are over and above what we are funded for by the governrnment. Most of these are take-home or trip transport contributions and our excellent results and academic performance are evidence that these contributions and extra experiences are an investment in your child’s education. 

Thank you to all coaches, managers and supporters who have supported us this term. Please ensure every student is engaged in activities for the Winter season. Enrolment and trials are taking place now. Contact Ms Hokianga for any questions about sport hk@otagogirls.school.nz and Mr Shields for any questions about the Arts sh@otagogirls.school.nz Remember that our busy students do the best academically and activities support learning - and vice versa.
