Values Project

Oratia District School is a values based school. 

The things we value are:

Sustainability

Excellence

There are many related values to the five keys values of our school. 

Valuing our Community is the focus at our school in Term 1. As part of this classes will look study the sub-value of “Unity.” Each class throughout the school will participate in lessons about Unity. There will be discussions, music and songs, art, poetry and written language based on this theme. Check back on the website for some examples of children’s work and photos.
