Activities on offer at Oratia District School
Each lunchtime there are a range of activities on offer for children who attend Oratia District School. These activities consist of cultural, eco and sporting endeavours. Children are welcome to sign up and try out for these activities and it gives them an opportunity to develop a range of different skills and maybe even discover a unique talent. We would like you to encourage your child to give it a go and participate in one of the many activities on offer. We have listed these activities here.
