Parents & School
Welcome to OWIS
If you are new to OWIS, we would like to welcome you as a valued member of our school. Whether your child has just joined our school or is transitioning to a new grade, we hope you find this Website and Learner Organiser helpful . It will give you the information you need to thrive as an important role player in our school community.
Starting at a new school is probably one of the most important, and sometimes daunting, moments in a young person’s life. Some children may be familiar with the experience if they have moved frequently.
To others, it may possibly be the first time they have moved away from the familiar surroundings and people of their city/state/home country. We appreciate your feedback as your family settles into the OWIS community, and we would like to work together as a team to make sure that your children have the best possible experience at our school.
Keeping this in mind, please let the class teacher know if you have any concern about your child’s settling in. Likewise, we would love to receive positive feedback if all goes smoothly and settling in is a happy and seamless experience.

A School for Courage. Character. Creativity. Competence.
Courage, character, creativity and competence are all essential attributes that can help individuals achieve success in their personal and professional lives.
Courage is the quality of being able to face difficult or challenging situations with confidence and determination. It requires a willingness to take risks, step outside of one's comfort zone, and overcome fear.
Character refers to a person's moral and ethical values, principles, and behavior. It is the foundation of trust, respect, and integrity that allows individuals to build meaningful relationships and achieve their goals with authenticity and accountability.
Creativity is the ability to generate novel ideas, perspectives, and solutions to complex problems. It requires imagination, curiosity, and a willingness to experiment and embrace new experiences.
Competence is the ability to perform a task or job with expertise, efficiency, and effectiveness. It requires a combination of knowledge, skills, experience, and adaptability to meet the demands of different situations and challenges.
Together, these qualities can enable individuals to overcome obstacles, adapt to changing circumstances, and make a positive impact on the world around them. Developing and nurturing these qualities can lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
