ENROLMENT FORMS
If your child
attends Fenwick, Pembroke or Oamaru North these forms will come home and
should be completed and returned to your child’s present school before
the end of term 3.
If your child attends any
other school please return the enrolment forms directly to Oamaru
Intermediate School office as soon as possible (preferably before 24th
September) or post to:
Oamaru Intermediate School
Pembroke Street
Oamaru 9400
If you wish to have these
forms posted to you please
e-mail the school office. Early completion and return of
forms is essential in helping us determine staffing needs and placement
of students for 2011.
ORIENTATION DAY VISIT
This year the Orientation Visit in Term 4 will encompass a morning at
Oamaru Intermediate School, commencing with a welcome in the school hall
at 9am and a conducted tour of the school by present pupils. Your child
will also have the opportunity to be involved in our Technology
Department. A warm invitation is extended to parents to be present for
all or part of the Orientation Day visit.
Tentative dates
for these are:
Pembroke School and
Oamaru North School – Friday 19 November
Fenwick School and
students from other schools – Friday 26 November
SCHOOL COSTS/PAYMENTS
The General Purpose Donation for 2010 will be $40.00 for one child or
$60.00 where more than one child attends Oamaru Intermediate School.
This levy contributes towards the cost of additional sports gear,
library materials, photocopying, printing, swimming tuition and the
provision of many items not able to be fully funded by the Ministry of
Education Operational Grant.
The Technology Fee is set
at $25.00 per child and subsidises the consumable take home materials
used in this department. This amount does not include separate charges
for Food, Fabric or Electronics. Oamaru Intermediate School children
spend an average of 2 hours per week at technology classes. Parents will
be invoiced for the approved fees early in 2011. All year 7/8 students
whether at OIS or country schools are required to pay this fee.
STATIONERY
Oamaru Intermediate does not have a Stationery Shop. Oamaru Paper Plus
will carry all required stationery items needed and will supply at ‘Back
to School’ prices. A full stationery list is provided in Term 4, or can
be picked up from our school office. Pupils are expected to bring the
required stationery to school on their first day.
BUS TRANSPORT
Pupils who travel to Intermediate from the South Hill have the option of
travelling by bus. A fee set by the bus company applies. A strict
behaviour code is in place for all bus users. Pupils not wishing to
adhere to this code are invited to travel to school using another means
of transport.
For pupils living in
outlying country areas, there are options available for travelling on
the High School buses. Costs are set by the bus contractor and
arrangements for pick up etc are made directly with the appropriate bus
company. Please contact the school office if you require further
information.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Oamaru Intermediate is a signatory to the International Student Code of
Practice and therefore is authorised to enrol International fee paying
students. These students bring a new dimension to our classrooms and add
to the cultural diversity of our school.
These students stay in
Boarding Hostels or with families. If you are interested in finding out
about offering a home stay opportunity for international fee paying
students please contact the school office. |
