Newsletter - No.26 - 2016 

On Thursday 15th September the school is opening its doors to the whole community to view the outcomes of a project our junior boys completed in the last week of Term 2. 

On Thursday after school at Kaikorai Valley College fifteen Year 9 and 10 students valiantly represented the castle on the hill.

Congratulations to Year 10 student Joseph Hancock who won the Under 15 grade at the New Zealand age group golf championships in Nelson last week. Joseph is a member of the Otago Under 16 team who will travel to Cambridge to defend their national junior title later in the month. 

The OBHS curling team had another great result coming away with a silver medal in the South Island Secondary Schools Curling Tournament.

Following the success of Space Camp 2016 students who will be in Year11, Year12 or Year13 in 2018 are invited to apply for the next lift off! 

As much as possible, could boys and parents please make all medical, (off site) physio, dentist and driving lesson appointments for students out of school time. These one off, but sometimes frequent absences during the year can have a considerable impact on student learning. Your support is appreciated. 

Malo e lelei.

Congratulations to our Theatre Sports team who placed 2nd (equal) for Otago/Southland in the Regional Final held at the Fortune Theatre this week.

With an average age of 15, our team was always going to have a tough week at the top tournament in the country. With a first up loss to Wellington competition winners Wellington College, our next game against St. Kentigern was our best chance to get a win in pool play.

Our Senior A basketball team finished runners-up at the South Island Secondary Schools’ tournament, losing to Christchurch Boys’ High School in the final on Saturday night.

Rabia’s visit, exclusively to Dunedin, has been organised by the Otago Medical Research Foundation with funds raised going to the Foundation’s work of establishing world-class research right here in the city.

Tell us about the activities and successes your son has been involved in so that as a community we can celebrate with them.
