SCHOOL STARTING TIMES
A reminder that school starts at 8.50am. We are noticing that there are a number of students
arriving after 9am. The first part of the day is very important as this is where the teacher
goes over things and any messages that are placed on the noticeboard. We would appreciate
your support.
ENROLMENTS FOR 2015

Over the coming weeks we will be looking at classes for 2015. It is really important that we
know of any new enrolments and are made aware of any children
who won’t be attending Opaki School next year.
