Welcome to Onekawa School

The first term of 2012 is well underway.  We welcomed 330 children on the first day back, this included 30 new enrolments.  Our full team of staff from 2011 returned on day 1, all looking relaxed and revived after the holiday break.

In the 2nd week of the term we hosted a team of three reviewers from the Education Review Office.  The visit went well, we are expecting  our confirmed report to be available early in term 2.

There is an air of contentment and zest for learning around our school.  I think we are in for a vintage year.

School Repaint

Our school is sporting a fresh new paint job.  Contractors are currently applying the finishing touches to the buildings.  The junior block is to be painted next summer but the old relocatable rooms won't be painted as they are to be removed in the near future.  We hope you like the new look.

Miss Jessi Vogele

We are very pleased to have Jessi Vogele, student teacher from Montana USA with us.  Jessi will be with us until 18 May.  We hope Jessi enjoys her stay in New Zealand.

 

Art Deco

The celebration of Napier's Art Deco heritage is now an important part of our annual calendar.  A tradition is for us to dress up in Deco gear on the Friday before the big weekend.  Staff and children look great.

 World Cup

We are looking forward to a visit from the William Webb Ellis trophy which is currently touring New Zealand.  We are the only Napier Primary School chosen to see the cup, a recognition of our strong support of the Rugby World Cup tournament.
