Update from the Campus Principal

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!

APSMO PARENT LETTER

Year 5/6 – A Great Start to Term 2

Year 5/6 students have had a wonderful start to Term 2, showing enthusiasm and focus across all learning areas.

In English, we are reading Rabbit, Soldier, Angel, Thief, which follows Sasha, a young boy in Russia during World War II. As this text explores sensitive themes, we encourage families to be open to discussing this topic with their child.

In Mathematics, students have been learning about place value, fractions, and decimals, including creating number lines to show the links between fractions, decimals, and percentages, and practising converting between them.

In Science, our focus has been on states of matter, with students explaining the particle movement of solids, liquids, and gases.

I am proud of the positive start students have made this term and look forward to what’s ahead.

Technology – LEGO Spike Prime

In Technology, students have been working with LEGO Spike Prime kits to design and build machines. They are then coding their creations to successfully complete a set challenge, combining problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork.

Students are highly engaged in this hands-on learning experience, and we look forward to seeing their final projects, which are due in Week 4.

Campus news

We’re pleased to introduce a new way to share your child(ren’s) House Points’ achievements.

From 11 May, parents will have access to the House Points dashboard in OnePortal. The dashboard will include the reason for the award, total House Points they have been awarded to date, their current Merit Certificate level, and how many points are needed to reach the next level.

House Points are at the heart of OneSchool Global’s student award program, to recognise notable achievements aligned with our Student Persona. This year we are encouraging all students to ‘Go for Gold’ and achieve 60 House Points across the academic year.

Parents, make sure you have notifications enabled for OnePortal so you don’t miss the updates!
