    Wednesday 16th June 2021 Dear parents, caregivers, students and friends of the school. Tena koutou katoa. Nga mihi nui ki a koutou katoa. Although winter is upon us, our school continues to be a vibrant and active place. Last week we registered our teams for the 2021 ANCHOR AIMS GAMES. This week we have been able to enter development teams in netball and boys six a-side hockey. This is to even up the draws in those sports. Priority will be given to Year 8 students who have not been selected in any other sport for the AIMS GAMES. Preparations are also in full swing for Showcase which is our annual production. This will be held in week two of next term. At Ōtūmoetai Intermediate School we believe that your children deserve to have the best teachers in New Zealand. Consequently, we place a huge, unrelenting focus on teacher professional development and engaging with the best experts we can find to work with our teaching staff. The outcome is every child who attends our school will have their learning accelerated over the two years they are with us. We are constantly looking for continuous improvement and are currently working with Learning Matters Ltd to enhance the capacity of staff to help students with diverse neurological needs. For further information about this visit: https://www.learningmatters.co.nz/ All classes are having a real focus on student learning and we will be reporting to you as parents on Thursday 8th July 2021. These conferences will run throughout the whole day from 8.00 am to 8.00 pm.
