From the Principal

Dear Parents,

Farewell Madi Judd

We wish Madi Judd all the best with the arrival of her new baby girl. Madi commences Family Leave this week. We thank Madi for all her wonderful work during her time at OGPS. We look forward to meeting the new bundle of joy. 

School Concert

We were treated to some excellent singing and dancing today from the Foundation, Year 4 and Year 6 students. There was a great deal of energy and enthusiasm during the performances which made them an absolute joy to watch. A massive thank you to the students and Dallas, our amazing Performing Arts teacher for the excellent concert. Thank you also to the parents and extended family members who attended to support the students. Dallas also sang for us which was amazing. Well done to all involved. An excellent way to start our Wednesday morning at OGPS.

Parent Opinion Survey Closes this Friday – Please complete

Thank you to all the parents who have competed the Parent Opinion Survey. We have only had a 20% response rate so far which is less than we would like. Please set aside a few minutes to complete the survey as we value your opinion. 

Athletics Meet

Forty of our students participated in the Division Athletics meet yesterday. The students participated very well with 10 students making it through to the next round. We wish them all the best. Thank you to the parents who attended to support the students and to Mr Horbury, Mr Connor and Julian Teague for attending with the students.

We invite everyone to our annual Art Show which will be held this Friday from 4:00pm to 7:00pm at the Hive Gallery, 41 Smithton Grove, Ocean Grove.
