Welcome back to all our families and staff across OneSchool Global Victoria and Tasmania. I hope you each had a relaxing and rejuvenating break, finding time to recharge for what promises to be an incredibly productive and fast-paced term.
It has been wonderful to see the energy returning to our campuses as students reconnect with their peers and staff and dive back into their self-directed learning and new assignments.
A special thank you to our Year 7 parents who joined us for the OSGAware webinar on Tuesday night; your engagement is vital as your children navigate this important initiative.
I want to extend a massive thank you and a heartfelt "well done" to our students for the ANZAC Day assemblies held on Day 1. The respect, maturity, and solemnity you displayed in honouring those who served was truly commendable; it was a proud start to the term.
As we settle into the coming weeks, please take a moment to revisit the letters sent by your Campus Principals during the first few days, and remember to access OnePortal regularly for the latest updates and resources.
As the colder weather sets in this term a quick reminder regarding uniform expectations: maintaining a high standard of dress reflects the pride we take in our community, so let’s ensure we are all meeting those requirements every day.
I also ask that all families discuss their high expectations of their child whilst traveling in the buses. Most do the right thing every morning and afternoon, however I do at times hear of situations and behaviours that are less than acceptable. This may place the safety of everyone on the bus at risk.
Looking ahead, we have much to celebrate, including welcoming our mums onto campus for Mother’s Day and the much-anticipated Mission Nutrition day.
It has been a busy start for me as well; I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Bairnsdale in Week 1. This week I have visited Melton and Hamilton and I attended Bendigo campus on Thursday for OSG Aware. Next week, I will be visiting Tasmania Campuses. I look forward to catching up with many of you on the ground as we kick off a successful Term 2 together!
