I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of our students and whānau who recently attended our end of year prizegivings. It was wonderful to be celebrating student success and, despite disruptions, there were some amazing achievements over 2022.
I would like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and New Year with whānau and friends. Stay safe and I look forward to seeing everyone back in 2023 for another year at ŌC, hopefully one with less disruption and greater continuity.
Merry Christmas
Andy Fraser
The school office will be open from Tuesday 24 January onwards (see above for detailed opening hours) for stationery sales.
Some of our newer families may not be aware that the College provides
competitive pricing for stationery. Also payments may be made using
parent accounts (provided there are funds in these accounts).
It definitely beats driving out of town and battling the crowds at the
stationery stores.
