As part of the responsibilities of Oamaru Intermediate School, we are revitalising our health curriculum to incorporate Section 91 of the Education and Training Act 2020.
This will include us teaching a wider variety of topics around puberty, identity, relationships and sexual health.
Part of our responsibility is to inform Whanau and our community of the achievement objectives and content that will be delivered in the programme.
Your feedback and knowledge is warmly welcomed as we are wanting to ensure that we are catering for all views, beliefs and customs of our OIS community.
Children can be withdrawn from the content around contraception, which will only be delivered to Year 8 students.
This information will be used by the board of trustees to ensure our curriculum complies with our legal obligations within Section 91 of the Education and Training Act 2020.
Any further questions or information, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Gavin (
gavinb@oamaruint.school.nz) or Becky (
rebeccat@oamaruint.school.nz).
Kind regards,
Gavin and Becky
