Learn to Row Programme
The Oamaru Rowing Club/St Kevin's College are starting up a Learn to Row group for Yr 7 upwards for them to get a taste to see if it is a sport they would like to persue in the 2018/2019 season for $50. If your child would like to attend they will be meeting weekly on a Wednesday afternoon at the Oamaru Rowing Club starting from Wednesday 28th February from 4.00 pm sharp until 5.30 pm.
Before getting on the water, you will need to go onto the website below and register

The Vision Hearing Technicians from Population Health, Southern District Health will be visiting your school to screen all year seven students for distance vision. Distance Vision (Amblyopia & Hyperopia) - this determines how well your child is able to see at a distance. It involves reading an eye chart. This is not required if your child wears glasses/or is currently under care for their vision.
If you do not wish your child to be screened please fill out an opt-out slip which are available at the school office before our visit.
