Year 5/6 End of Term Reflection

What a fantastic and productive term it has been in Year 5/6! The students should be extremely proud of the effort, enthusiasm, and perseverance they have shown across all areas of learning. It has been wonderful to see students challenge themselves, develop new skills, and grow in confidence throughout the term.

In English, students completed a rich novel study of Rabbit, Soldier, Angel, Thief. Through this text, they explored important literary concepts including point of view, symbolism, metaphor, and narrative techniques. Students produced thoughtful discussions and written responses, demonstrating their growing ability to analyse texts and support their ideas with evidence.

Our learning was strengthened through cross-curricular connections to Science and Geography. In Science, students investigated the states of matter, developing an understanding of how solids, liquids, and gases behave and change. In Geography, they explored the geography of Australia, learning about the diverse landscapes, environments, and features that make our country unique.

In Mathematics, students worked diligently to strengthen their understanding of key concepts. Our focus included addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, geometry, and statistics and data. Students engaged in a variety of hands-on and problem-solving activities, applying their mathematical thinking in meaningful and practical ways.

Students achieved their classroom behaviour reward and chose to cook some of their favourite foods. It has been a pleasure to watch the students grow academically and personally this term. Thank you to families for your continued support. We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable break and look forward to another exciting term of learning ahead.

Update from the Regional Principal

Dear Students, Staff, and Families

As we reach the end of Term 2, I would like to take a moment to reflect on what has been a highly productive and positive term across our Victoria and Tasmania campuses. This also marks the end of my first full term as Regional Principal at OneSchool Global, a milestone that has given me valuable time to settle into the role, build connections, and gain a deeper understanding of our school community.

Over the past fortnight, I have acted as Campus Principal at our Nathalia Campus. I praise all students, staff and community for their welcome and support. It has been great seeing our L2L framework in action day after day.

During this last week we have had the privilege of a regional visit by Mr Paul Maher, Regional Director of Education and Ms Louise Goette, Regional Director of Student Support. They spent time at our Nathalia, Swan Hill and Bendigo Campuses. I was extremely proud of our campuses during these visits and I thank Mr Chris Sanders at Bendigo and Ms Annalie Gilmour at Swan Hill.

As mentioned many times, this term has enabled me to visit all our campuses. I have been struck by the consistency of our culture, the strength of relationships, and the clear focus on student learning. At every campus, I have felt genuinely welcomed, and I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting with staff, students, and members of the wider community. These visits continue to be a highlight of my role and reinforce the strong sense of purpose that exists across our region.

There have been many highlights throughout the term. I would like to acknowledge all students who have recently completed assessments and examinations. Your commitment to preparation and perseverance is commendable, and you should take great pride in your efforts. These moments mark important milestones in your learning journey.

This time of year, has also seen a strong focus on subject selection for 2027. I commend students for the thoughtful consideration they have given to their future pathways, supported by staff and families. These are important decisions that help shape the opportunities ahead. If you need support with this process please contact us as we are very keen to support.

More broadly, I want to acknowledge the efforts of all campuses in maintaining such positive and productive environments. Across classroom learning, student leadership, co-curricular activities, and community engagement, there is much to celebrate. Our shared values and collective commitment continue to be a defining strength of OneSchool.

As we move into the holiday break, I am personally looking forward to taking some time to pause, take stock, and reflect with gratitude on what has been achieved this term. I encourage all members of our community to do the same to rest, recharge, and enjoy time with family and friends after a busy and productive period.

I look forward to welcoming everyone back in Term 3, refreshed and ready to continue building on the strong foundations already in place.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing commitment and contribution to our school community.

Please feel free to make contact with me if you have any questions.

Warm regards,
Frank Vetere
Regional Principal
VIC/TAS
