To Emma and Hayden Kappely and Debbie and Shane Spotswood, welcome to the Ongaonga School Community.
ANZAC Day ANZAC Day means so many different things to different people. For me it is a day of remembrance, of pride in my forbearers who helped to create my world, for those who committed the ultimate sacrifice and to think of what I need to do to create the future I want for my children. Thanks to all those who represented Ongaonga School at the commemorations on ANZAC Day and to Mrs Barkle for helping to organise this community event.
Busy Term We have another busy term lined up: Science is our learning focus with flight its context, sports trainings on Fridays, The Arts options on Thursday and Fridays, Year 7 and 8 camp in Rotorua, Gymnastic Festival, People Savers Course, and the Agri Kids Grand Final.
Movie Stars Ongaonga punches above its weight in successes so it was great to see we are also taking over the television with our very own movie stars.

Holiday Stories
My Puppy
In the holidays I went to the hot
pools. I like swimming. I got a new
puppy. His name is Henry. He sits in
the sun and plays in
the bushes. He is black
and white.
I play with Henry a lot.
By Ruby Moorcock
Wellington
In the holidays I went to Wellington.
It is a long way. It was fun. Sam got a
new scooter in Wellington. Then we
went for a scooter ride along the
water front. Mum was walking. We
went a long way and then we went
back to the hotel and had dinner.
We went up a hill and we looked at
the city. Everything was
lit up even the trees.
