This Week At OOPS

Exploring Our Strengths

Some of our Year 2 students explored personal strengths as part of our Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships program. Together, we created a class mind map of the many strengths we see in ourselves and others, such as kindness, humour, teamwork, and respect. Students then put these strengths into action during our “Mind the Baby” activity, where they worked together to care for a pretend baby. As you can see, we saw moments of genuine care, cooperation, and laughter as students demonstrated empathy, responsibility, and teamwork by looking after Baby Mario, Luigi and Bunny!

Rethink Recycling brought RUSTIE to OOPS this week for the Year 3 and 4 students not just to discover how important it is to rethink how we use plastic, but to reuse plastic bottle tops to create new products!

RUSTIE The Regenerative Upcycling Solar-Powered Trailer is a fully solar-powered, interactive recycling hub that transforms plastic waste into new, usable products, making the circular economy a hands-on experience for schools, communities, and organisations.

This week the Preps continued the Respectful Relationships unit about gender, learning about how boys and girls can be the same and different. They brainstormed ideas about what girls like and what boys like, and in the end, we came to the realisation that everyone can like anything! Check out these awesome posters they made as reminders for everyone to walk their own path and like their own things!
