Welcome to Onekawa School

It has been a rather damp start to the new term. Fortunately there were one or two fine days in the holidays which allowed one of our classroom blocks to be re-roofed. We are looking forward to warmer weather later in the term.
A warm welcome to the five new children who started on the first day of the term. Our latest new entrant classroom is filling up rapidly.

Upcoming Events

In week 2 all classes will be starting their 'Keeping Ourselves Safe' unit. Our Police Education Officer will be assisting us with this very worthwhile programme.
Our Maori Language week, also in week 2 will culminate in an 'activities day' on Friday with all children participating in a range of cultural activities.
Training for our cross country events for all ages, to be held late in the term will also begin shortly and a new round of after school sport starts in week 2.
Our year 6 students are looking forward to their camp at Stoney Creek Ranch on 10-13 August. It promises to be another challenging and fun-filled week.

After School Sport

Sport is well under way for many teams at Onekawa School. This term we have 3 hockey teams, 6 netball teams, 2 rippa rugby teams and a middle school mega volley team is being organised at the moment. There is also a possibility of flippa ball taking place so we might have a couple of teams playing that as well.
