Swimming Sports 2024

This week Omarama School held a swimming display for parents and whanau to come and view.
The younger students shared water confidence activities and were supported in the pool by our teacher aide, who is also a swimming instructor.
The older students competed in Breaststroke, Backstroke, Butterfly and Freestyle heats. This was followed by a  medley for our more confident swimmers and then a whanau freestyle relay. We concluded our display with a fun relay race between students and teachers.
A great day was had by all and we thank our parent community for supporting this event.

 

Leadership Camp 2024

The Year 7 and Year 8 Leadership team attended a 3 day camp at Peel Forest, in week 4. This camp is designed to build leadership skills and develop confidence in the outdoors.

The activities were organised and run by Peel Forest Outdoor Centre and included: High Ropes, Local Bush walk and Rafting the lower Rangitata river.

All students showed enthusiasm, endurance and determination to 'push themselves, into less comfortable zones'.

A fun time was held by all, but very weary on their return to school!
