My name is Maddy Campbell and I am honoured and extremely excited to be the head prefect of Otago Girls' for 2017. 

Last week we enjoyed a fabulous Sports Day; the weather was kind, participation high, the competition fierce and House spirit soared. 

As a school we want to inform our community, and assist our parents to address the issues our students are faced with through the internet, media and social media sites.

On February 17 we held our annual Sports Day at the Caledonian Ground, Logan Park. The day kicked off with the march past where each house went head to head chanting their way around the track with their amazing costumes on. 

Thank you so much for all your amazing support over past few weeks in supplying items, buying raffles and offering to help at the school fair. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday. The School  will be open from 8.30am to 4.00pm tomorrow for you to drop off baking, sweets or plants.

Over the summer holidays our rowing girls have been training hard and competing at many regattas and week long training camps. We kicked off the season with our first Twizel regatta of the season - Meridian Otago Championships.

All Year 9 students will be out on the Orientation Camp at Tirohanga next week. All consent forms should be in by now and the girls should have had their rain jacket checked by their form teacher.

We are excited at your daughter's interest in playing Netball for OGHS this season.
