Our school is undertaking a parent election for our School Board. This process has started with the issuing of nomination papers to our caregiver community. You should have received an email on 15 July from Canterbury Education Services (CES).

We have employed CES to undertake the election process on our behalf. This year with legislative change, our nomination form and full instruction on how to place your nomination into our own School’s Election website has been emailed to you if we have your email address in our database or you will receive it by post if we don’t have your email in our database.

The email with attached nomination form was sent on 15 July. Please check your spam filter and junk inbox if you did not receive it. Or you can contact gillian.skilton@obhs.school.nz to get a nomination form.

Nomination papers are also available at the school office. The school will send those on to CES for processing upon receipt from candidates.

Nominations close on Wednesday 3rd August at 12 noon. Election day is Wednesday 7th September.

We look forward to your participation in this process.
