With another school year finishing, we would like to acknowledge all the help and support the Parents' Association has had throughout the year.

Our job is made much easier with our wonderful committee, great support from our Treasurer Karen Begg, and Meg Townend who is our extraordinaire with our minutes and anything on social media.

We also wish to acknowledge the help from the OBHS office staff and Lee Hart, this is much appreciated.

This year with life still a little unsettled we managed to finally get the garage sale completed. Fundraisers included cheese rolls and the just completed truffles. We thank everyone for their support with these events.

We are proud that the Parents' Association has been able to support the Woodwork department with the purchase of new drills, the library has acquired fancy new chairs and the auditorium lighting and sound upgrade. We have just approved a donation towards a new fridge and woks for the Food Technology department.

We also offered support to the school with the sale of the Plunket raffle tickets, a free evening event was held with speaker Ritchie Poulton and the running of the Uniform Shop continues.

Our best wishes to you and your families for a safe and happy Christmas and wonderful New Year.

Fiona Kyle and Penny Cumming
