Strengthening number sense at home
The Victorian Mathematics Ambassadors, in partnership with the Department of Education and Victorian Catholic Education Authority (VCEA), have created a suite of mathematics video resources to promote consistent teaching approaches between school and home.
Included in these resources are five practical, easy-to-follow videos for parents and carers of Foundation to Year 2 students, aligned with evidence-informed teaching practices to reinforce classroom learning. The videos offer clear explanations and practical demonstrations designed to boost students’ confidence, fluency and understanding. The videos are linked below.

ANZAC Day
This year the OHR community will be acknowledging ANZAC Day at our Beginning of Term Mass on Friday 24th at 9.00am. During this celebration we are very fortunate to hear from Brigadier John Holloway and our school captains. Each class will bring forward their class wreath. We warmly welcome all parents and family members to attend. Please come along as we would love to see you there.
The Surrey Hills Community will conduct its Dawn Service at Surrey Gardens where our School Captains and Vice Captains will participate in the service and lay our school wreath. All families are invited to come along to this event.
Bebras results are in!
The wait is over... We’re excited to celebrate our students’ efforts in the Bebras Computational Thinking Challenge, with awards to be presented at next terms first assembly on Monday 27 April. You are warmly invited to attend this Assembly to celebrate the students success.
