If you're not already following, please get on to our facebook page 'Ocean Grove Primary School Parents Club'. We post regular updates and reminders for families to keep up to date on what's going on around the school. 

OGPS Parents & Friends Committee is currently working on bringing some great events to the school community.

  • Grade 1 Catch Up - we feel your year last year wasn't all it was meant to be when starting out at school, so we are working on bringing a great social event for the Year 1 families to 'get to know' each other a little bit better. Date TBC - once restrictions are lifted. 
  • Whole School BBQ! We had a great little Friday afternoon BBQ recently for Foundation families. We thought it would be a great idea to extend that to the whole school! Date TBC - once restrictions are lifted.
  • Term 4 Parents Night Out! Our social committee is hard at work to bring some fun to the end of the year in the form of a Bingo or Trivia Night. If you have some ideas, or would like to help organise we would love to meet you.
  • We are also currently working alongside the Eco Club to help bring some exciting projects to life.
  • Working with Scott & Kristy on the new Inclusive Playground, as well as looking at extending the bike rack area at both ends of the school.
  • We are also looking into a new 'Canteen Day' option for students. This is very exciting as we know how much the families have been hoping to get a regular lunch order day going. Thanks Sarah Ottens for championing this project. 

 

 

Welcome to the new 'Parents and Friends Club' section of the newsletter. 

 

 

Our Parents and Friends’ Club provides an opportunity to participate and contribute to our school community. We work together to organise social events, contribute to fundraising and assist wherever and whenever volunteers are required. We are basically a group of parents who like to help out around the school when and where we can. It is a very informal group and new members are always welcomed!

The Club meets once a month, but you don’t have to attend meetings to become a member. If you would like to volunteer then please join us!

 

It is a great way to meet other parents and get involved at Ocean Grove Primary School.

We had our first catch up of the year last week, and we're excited to welcome some new faces to the group. We can already tell that we are going to get up to some exciting things this year that will hopefully provide some assistance to students and families, the teaching staff, as well as some events that will bring OGPS families and friends together to have some fun.
