Why We Should Have More Interschools

Oamaru Intermediate School

Dear Mrs Healy,     

I strongly think that Oamaru Intermediate school should have more Interschools because having an interschool can allow students and teachers to gain new bonds, we can make new friends, and even start a school tradition! Secondly, it can be used as an opportunity for students to try new things such as new sports. We would be able to learn different skills & both in school & out. Values such as respecting each other, teamwork, learning how to work together as a team, kindness, being kind to everyone, the opposition, team members, other teachers etc. From all this, we will be able to learn new skills, values, start new bonds etc. Wouldn’t that be the IDEAL safe and happy learning environment? 

Firstly, I believe that Oamaru Intermediate School should have more interschools because it can be a way for students and/or teachers to meet new people, build up new friendships, start new bonds, and even start a new interschool tradition with that school. I think this would be a great way for students to get to know eachother better.

Secondly, having more interschools will allow students to be more active. Students would be more fit and healthy. More interschools can also act as a new opportunity for students to try/play new & different sports. A great way for students to get out and be more active. Gives students a chance to experience the competitiveness within sports if they have not played sports before.  

Lastly, I strongly believe that we should have more interschools within the school year because it is a new/different way of learning. We can learn different skills, understand sports and competition better, learn different values like we have here at school like respect as in respecting the opposition, coaches, referees etc.teamwork, having the experience of being in a team, kindness, being kind to one another and other IDEAL values Oamaru Intermediate have..

In conclusion, I think that Oamaru Intermediate school should have more interschools within our school years because of the experience, the different opportunities, different new skills we can learn, even start a new inter school tradition! Start new bonds and make new friends with students/teachers from other schools. Overall, learn new things, build up a kind, respectful, hard working school. Wouldn’t that be the IDEAL perfect school?

Yours Sincerely,
