Principal's Perspective

Dear parents and carers,
Remembering Jack Davey
On October 29, students and staff came together for a special tabloid sports day, marking the anniversary of the tragic loss of Jack Davey.
The day was an opportunity to remember, reflect and honour Jack while bringing students and staff together through fun, friendship and shared experiences.
There was a wonderful sense of connection, care and togetherness as students participated in multi age group activities that celebrated teamwork, inclusion and community spirit. While the day carried a sense of sadness and reflection, it also reminded us of the strength we find in one another and the importance of community and the connections we share.
Prep Transition
Our final 2027 prep transition session took place this week. Thank you to the prep teachers and team for ensuring the sessions were well coordinated and organised – making for fun and engaging sessions welcoming our 2027 prep students.
Thank you also to our wonderful parents who assisted and organised the morning tea, to welcome many new families to our school. Our community spirit continues to
Off-site Evacuation Drill
On Thursday we conducted an OHS emergency off-site evacuation drill to our off-site evacuation point of Auburn High School oval. It was a positive and well-coordinated offsite evacuation drill and everything went very smoothly.
Thank You
Thanks to Rhian ap Rees and Hayley Street for stepping up while I took some long service leave recently. Rhian and Hayley did a wonderful job leading the school ensuring that our teaching and learning, operations and support ran smoothly during this time. Thank you also to Kim Edwards for additional time in the 3A classroom. Hayley will be back in 3A from next week.
