Week 6, Term 2.

Kia ora koutou,

Ehara taka toa i te toa takitahi, Engari he toa takitini
Success is not the work of one, but the work of many.

At Oxford Area School there are almost thirty staff, working mostly behind the scenes, supporting our school, teaching staff and students. This encompasses a wide variety of roles including teacher aides, administrative staff, IT, property staff and cleaners. While many of our support staff are visible during the school day, both in and out of the classroom, others only begin their working day when the 3.00 pm bell is rung.

Without the dedication and mahi of this valuable team, our school would not function. So it was fitting that we celebrated on Thursday with a morning tea as a way to say thank you from the school community.
