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.

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.

Check out the events page for a full list.

Maori Experience Day

To end Maori language week all children were placed into groups with children from other ages and sent off to different teachers to participate in a variety of different Maori arts, crafts, dance, drama and other traditional games.
Children were involved in acting out different myths, making things with harakeke and lots of art with koru. Some children got to experience the traditional game of Ki-O-Rahi which was a lot of fun. A great day was had by all.

Dental Service

If your child requires treatment while our clinic is being built please phone 8438669 and Lerlene Wright, the dental assistant will arrange an appointment at an alternative clinic.

Being Active

Friday 6 August will see children being active in lots of different ways. Children will once again be in groups with children from other ages and they will participate in activities like jump jam, fitness circuit, dodge ball, rippa rugby, sack races, relays, skipping, egg and spoon and many others.
