Celebrating 50 Years

50 Years And Still Going Strong

Over Labour Weekend our school celebrated its 50th Jubilee. We have been open since 1964. Our entire school was busy preparing for this exciting event which included our school production. The production looking at Oaklands with characters from our past was a huge success and was enjoyed by young and old. Jacob and Sam were both part of our school orchestra playing their ukuleles. The rest of the class was involved in helping to paint the backdrops and props for the production. The backdrops looked amazing!
We were also involved in helping to paint the 50th Jubilee mural. The mural was divided into two parts - Kauri and Kakano. The Kakano team lead by Mr Horn and Miss Van Leeuwen had students from each of their classes helping to paint their half of the mural, while Kauri had one student from each class plan, design and paint our side of the mural. Both sides were linked by a giant oak tree. It was a huge job but was worth it, especially when you see our masterpiece hanging up on the back of our school hall wall. It represented what it meant to be a part of Oaklands School.
