Transition Sessions for 2023

On Tuesday 13th December, we ran our final transition day for our 2023 Prep students and our first transition session for current students throughout the school. We also had another morning transition session on Friday 16th December for our Year 1-6 students.  The students met their teachers for next year, spent time with their new class in their Learning Communities for 2023. We also welcomed new students who are transitioning to OPPS from other schools next year. We were so proud of the way our current students made all of our new students feel so welcome straight away. Our new students left with beaming smiles on their faces, having already started to form strong and positive relationships with their teachers and their peers. These sessions have set all of our students up for a positive start to the 2023 school year. 

Class Parties

Last Friday all of our classes celebrated the end of year with their class parties with hot chips, potato cakes, drinks and lots of fun and laughter. It was lovely to see all of the students enjoying the company of their 2022 classmates and teachers. I couldn't believe that there were leftover chips in some of the Learning Communities!! Clearly all of the students had full bellies and if the rumours are true, Mr Hodge set a world record for the most potato cakes eaten in one sitting!!!!

Final Assembly and 2023 Student Leaders

Last Friday the whole school came together for our final assembly for the year. Mr Hayes led everyone with some Christmas Carols, however whilst this was lots of fun, the main event of our assembly was the announcement of our 2023 Year 6 Leaders. Many of our students put together speeches as part of their application process and we are proud of them all for being brave enough to be vulnerable and take this risk. We are very excited to announce the following people as our Leaders for next year. 

School Captains

Brax Farrall and Mieke Ferguson

Marrum House Captains

Austin Clamp and Ashleigh Groeneveld

Bunjil House Captains

We look forward to these students building upon the great work of our 2022 School Leaders and further strengthening our student voice.
