Principal's Message...

A huge congratulations to all the Year 8 students who recently returned from camp. We understand that sleeping away from home and embracing new challenges can be daunting, and we are incredibly proud of their resilience.

This week, we also celebrated our swimmers who represented the school at the Otago Swimming Competition, and we have had a number of students excelling in a variety of sports and activities this term.

I'd like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank the students who have truly embodied our IDEAL values. The intermediate years are a pivotal time when students begin to discover themselves, and it's wonderful to see so many stepping up as positive role models. A special shout-out to our exceptional staff for their unwavering commitment to making Oamaru Intermediate a place of positive, engaging, and fun learning experiences. They consistently go above and beyond to provide a wide range of cultural, arts, and sporting opportunities. To our whānau/families, thank you for your understanding, support, and ongoing commitment to helping your children reach their full potential.

Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday. May you recharge, refresh, and return ready for another exciting term!
