Kia ora koutou, Te Kura o Ōkahau whānau,
We wish to consult with our school community on the priorities you would like to see emphasised in the Health and Physical Education curriculum over the next 2 years. We would like you to take a few minutes to contribute to this survey. We will be using this information to help us with planning our future programme priorities.

All survey responses close on Friday 14th of November.
