Welcome, everybody, and let me introduce Ōuruhia Model School.
We are your local school... a traditional family-friendly country school, modern and forward-thinking, with a rich and varied curriculum based in our community: Our people; Our Place; Our Future.
We want Ōuruhia Model School to be fun, memorable, and relevant. One of our mottos is "Learning for Life and Making it Count." We want students to love learning, be curious, and having lots of "Wow!" moments. Students with those attitudes and experiences will be motivated and engaged, and keen to make every step count on the road ahead... the road to a successful and positive future.
At Ōuruhia Model School our children grow to be strong in the personal qualities we emphasise: being Thinkers and Independent learners, who are Caring & Sharing and have a Can-Do Attitude.
We welcome enquiries about enrolments for children from New Entrants to Year 8. We would love to meet you and show you around our school.
Pease email principal@ouruhia.school.nz for more information, or phone 03 323 8855.

This Friday is the day our Twilight Fair is on and the weather looks beautiful!!
The PTA have been busy organising everything and it is going to be a humdinger of a time!!
WE NEED YOUR HELP WITH THE FOLLOWING:
Cake Stall/ Bake Sale:
Can parents please let me know by return email what they intend to make for the bake sale. We ask that parents drop the baking into the office on Friday morning.
Help on the night:
If any families are able to help on the night please let me know. It may only be for 15 minutes but it all helps share the load.

Raffle tickets went home on Friday for seniors and juniors will receive their ones today!! There are 2 raffles: one for a truckload of firewood delivered, this is $5 per ticket and the other is $2 a ticket for a chance to win one of the 21 prizes on offer.
