2. where food and beverages are sold on school premises to make only healthy options available

We are currently in discussion with our school tuckshop who are categorizing items into foods that should be:
1.  everyday food eg sandwich, rolls, yoghurt, fruit and vegetables.

2. Sometimes foods eg pizza, muffin, macaroni cheese and

3. occasional foods eg sausage rolls, chocolate bars, fries.

The Board wish to consult with parents and the wider community about foods they see as appropriate for sale in our tuckshop.
Please respond by letter, email, verbally to Principal, or though this Blog .

What do you think is a reasonable time allocation?

What tasks would you expect your child to be doing for homework?

As from 28 May 2007 the Board of Trustees was authorized to abandon its enrolment scheme, as provided for in Section 11L(2) of the Education Act .
The change now allows Owairoa Primary School to accept students from any geographical location, provided there is a place available at the appropriate age level.
This is great news for all parents wishing to enroll their child at Owairoa Primary School, New Zealand’s finest primary school.
Don’t delay, call the school today.

The perfectionist child – everything has to be done “just so”

The seriously compliant child – ” The Disease to Please”

The dreamer child – “Daydream Believer”

Update June 5: The Board of Trustees has accepted the new uniform. They would like to thank all those who have made comments and these were helpful in coming to a decision.

The two year phasing in period will allow the year 5 and 6 children to continue to wear their old uniforms until they leave. The new uniform will be available from the school shop. $$$ Price List $$$
