Merci beau corpe miss-ure (Salut Alexandre).
Ça doit faire du bien d'être rentré à la maison ! Tu nous manques déjà à Onewhero Area School ! Si tous les français sont comme toi et ta famille, ça doit être un beau pays, et on espère que ton anglais va encore s'améliorer. De notre côté, on a décidé d'améliorer notre français : on va mettre bon et jour ensemble, arrêter de dire bonne jour et te surprendre en te disant où bien bonjour ou bonne journée, même si tu commences à dire bonne jour.
N'oublie pas tes mates copains d'Onewhero, ici, on n'est pas prêt de t'oublier.

From the Principal
Welcome to the Onewhero Area School website. Onewhero Area School is a very friendly and positive school where there are high expectations for learning and behaviour. The over 400 students who attend OAS are considerate and supportive of each other and are fortunate to be offered a wealth of opportunities to spark their interests, feed their enthusiasm and extend their creativity. Whether it is programmes offered as part of the curriculum or extra-curricula activities, the range offered goes towards creating well-rounded individuals with a richness of experience.
Onewhero Area School has a 'feel good' factor about it. Many people comment on this when they first visit the school, whether they be prospective families looking to enrol their children, visitors from other schools, or friends of families already associated with the school.
While all of New Zealand's curriculum areas are taught, the emphasis of teaching and learning programmes is on Maths and English in order to build a solid foundation for future learning. The students of Onewhero Area School however have the opportunity to gain much more than a basic education due to the high quality of the teaching and support staff who work together to provide a breadth of educational experiences in a friendly and caring school community.
A variety of sports are offered at Onewhero. The popularity of Netball continues to grow as a result of the success of our teams in the weekend Competitions. Year 7 and 8 students in summer are able to take part in the Milo Trophy Cricket Competition while in winter they have the opportunity to participate in a range of other sports.
Opportunities for success also exist in other areas such as with Chess, Science Clubs and online National Educational team competitions all operating outside of classroom time allowing students to extend their existing skills or develop new ones.
The Board of Trustees governs the school in a very professional manner. This small group of people do a lot of work behind the scenes ensuring that the school is run according to legislation and that the students benefit as a result. The staff appreciates the support they receive from the Board and the positive working environment that exists.
The Parent Teachers Association (PTA) does an amazing job of organizing a variety of events in the school. Their community events are fun and as a result of their fund-raising activities the students have benefited from new library books, sports uniforms, first aid kits, picnic tables, court markings and adventure playground equipment.
You are most welcome to come and visit Onewhero and get a feel for the school yourself. Please do not hesitate to contact myself if you would like to know more about Onewhero Area School or make an appointment so that I can show you around this very special place.
Kind regards,
Greg Fenton (Principal)
