Cycle Skills 2021

 Room 7 students were very lucky to take part in the Let's Go cycle training programme today. Important skills covered include safe braking, the life saver look, the importance of fitting your helmet correctly and maintaining your bike. 

Year 5/6 Interschool Final Competition

Our Year 5/6 Interschool rugby and netball teams proudly represented Oakura School at the recent finals competitions.  They both had tough games - rugby played against Inglewood and netball played against Waitara East. Proud of you all.
 

Be Seen Day

Oakura School students understand the importance of wearing bright colours when out and about, getting themselves actively to school and other places. They realise that wearing bright colours makes them much more visible to people driving their cars, thereby increasing their chance of not being injured while out and about. 
 

SMAK Testing

 Tane visited Oakura School yesterday to take our students through how to use the SMAK (stream monitoring and assessment kit) to see how healthy our streams are.

Interschool Games

I felt so proud after observing how well our students hosted Spotswood Primary School at our recent interschool games. The weather played its part with only a few brief showers and a beautiful rainbow. All students gave 100%  effort during their games and we came away with great results. Awesome.
 

Pukeiti Field Trip

 Room 7 students had a wonderful day at Pukeiti today, learning how measure the clarity and temperature of river water, along with appreciating the special place Pukeiti is. A big thank you to Emily and Richard, our experts and our wonderful parent helpers.

Interschool 2021

 Once again our Year 5 & 6 students proudly represented their school in the interschool competition against Coastal Taranaki School. Excellent sportsmanship coupled with amazing talent ensured everyone had a wonderful afternoon. Awesome.
