Principal's Comment
Kia ora families
It's been a short three day week but still lots of fun was had at Onekawa School!
Approximately seventy Year 3-6 children took part in the annual 'Switch Code Gala Day' today. Boys played Netball and girls played Rippa Rugby. A massive thanks to our wonderful parent helpers who coached some of our teams.
Below is information about our health consultation with our community. Schools are required to consult with their school community at least every two years. We would really appreciate it if you can read the information and complete the consultation survey.
Have an awesome weekend everyone!

Community Health Programme Consultation for Onekawa School
The Onekawa School Board of Trustees is required to consult with our school community at least every two years about the Health programme we offer here at Onekawa School.
In New Zealand, health education fits into the Health and Physical Education Curriculum. The four key areas of learning relating to Health are:
Mental Health
Sexuality Education
Food and Nutrition
Body Care and Physical Safety
We aim to deliver a programme which satisfies the objectives of the New Zealand Curriculum, and reflects the needs of our tamariki. There will be opportunity to comment on our health curriculum, and feedback is welcomed to assist us in delivering a programme which serves all learners.
