It is really important to us that our families are involved with and informed about our school, it is their school too. We have been deliberately planning opportunities to connect with our OrmPS whanau, through our enrolment interviews and through family events. We have had two Family Information evenings to date.
The most recent on November 26, 2014 where we discussed:

  • Building and Enrolment Update
  • Introducing our Learning Coaches
  • A Day and Life of an OrmPS Learner
  • Uniform, Stationery, BYOD
  • Walking School Bus
  • Curriculum
  • Opening Day Plans
  • Other Developments

It was so wonderful to connect with the community and meet more of our learners and their families. 2015 is going to be #oresome!!!

We are really looking forward to the 2015 school year and getting to know all of our families so much more!
