Update from the Campus Principal

As we begin these school holidays, I am reflecting on how fortunate we are at OSG Mt Victoria to have such a supportive community and staff team. Term 2 demonstrated how our volunteers stepped up for reading groups, exam support, driving to excursions, serving students and staff in canteen, and joining the safeguarding training webinar. Our staff regularly stepped up with covering duties and lessons, reporting hazards, writing Assignments, and being supportive of one another through report-writing. I am thankful for the dedication of all, despite challenges that are thrown our way - such as the additional commute times due to the closure of the Mt Victoria Pass.

Term 2 was a good demonstration of our students' focus on their learning and growth. We maintained excellent ratio of Tutorials. All of our students from 3-12 took assessments seriously, with learning conversations regularly taking place. Our 7-12 students engaged with the Peer Coaching program. Students in 7-12 used advice to prepare for examinations. Our SLT worked closely with Condo's SLT to create an excellent and memorable Activity Day.

We will continue to strive for excellence using feedback from all stakeholders in Term 3. I hope you all have a well-rested and safe break. We look forward to welcoming our students back to school on Tuesday 21 July.

3/4 Teal Update


Potato Olympics Fun in 3/4 Teal!

This week in Mathematics, Year 3/4 Teal took part in our very own Potato Olympics! Students began by getting creative - decorating and naming their potato athletes with lots of personality and flair.

The excitement continued as students competed in a range of fun, hands-on events. In the ski jump, students launched their potatoes down a ramp and carefully measured the distance travelled. During figure skating, they timed how long their potato could spin, recording and comparing results.

Throughout the activities, students practised important measurement skills, including using units of length and time, recording data, and discussing results. It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm, creativity, and teamwork as students applied their mathematical thinking in a fun and memorable way!

3/4 Gold Update


After a term packed with determination, creativity, and curiosity, 3/4 Gold students can proudly call themselves published authors. Their work spans two genres: an expertly crafted information report and an imaginative narrative, each showcasing their growing confidence as writers and communicators.

In mathematics, the class has been equally impressive. They’ve spent the term broadening and applying their skills, tackling new concepts and strengthening their problem‑solving abilities. All this hard work is about to pay off in the Potato Olympics — a hands‑on competition where mathematical thinking meets creativity and fun.

Their learning hasn’t been confined to the classroom either. Students have virtually travelled across Australia, exploring landscapes, cultures, and histories from coast to coast. They’ve also researched a neighbouring country, deepening their understanding of global connections, and embarked on a whirlwind exploration of Europe and Africa.

5/6C Update


Red Star Chronicles - Work completed with Mr Crowe.

5/6 Maths

Students participated in The Potato Olympics in Maths this week. Each student had their very own ‘Potatathlete’, each athlete had a coach (their student), a name, attributes, country of origin and a flag. To say the students were excited is an understatement!

The ‘Potatathletes’ competed in three Olympic events; shot put, skiing, and a 100m race. The athletes and their coaches enjoyed the experience.

7/8 Homeroom


This term has been eventful and full of highlights for the Year 7 and 8 Homeroom. Most students have been taking advantage of the IXL program beyond the Tue morning Homeroom timeslot and seem to enjoy using the digital platform to develop their skills and work toward their MAP goal. Team Building activities are always popular. Today we played a game of charades which was a fun way to start the day. Kahoots every second Thursday are also well received. Students have improved completing Study Plans with everyone now in a good routine setting them up for their work week. Year 7 have completed their first set of Semester Exams. We focused on how to prepare and complete the exams to the best of our ability. We revised Study techniques, had discussions that kept everyone on track and supported each other. The exams were straight after many Assessment Tasks were due, which made for a busy and sometimes difficult week for some students. This highlighted the need for students to become more aware of the long-term due dates so students can put in place planning, so they are prepared ahead for those peak periods. Next Term Yr 7/8 Homeroom will begin using ‘Due Dates at a Glance’ to help keep them on track and be prepared for busy times.

‘Due Dates at a Glance’ will look something like this:

9/10 Homeroom


9/10 students have worked consistently hard this fortnight to finalise assessments and exams. Students have also had the opportunity to seek feedback from their teachers, work through exam questions to see where they can improve and begin goal setting for Term 3.

It has been a busy term filled with many successes and opportunities for growth both academically and socially. As the HR teacher it has been a pleasure to witness students conduct themselves according to our values and Personas.

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish both students and families a safe and enjoyable break and I look forward to seeing students back ready to embrace term 3!

Food Technology Update


All Food Technology classes have prepared Assessments this term.

Year 7 had to design a muffin from a random ‘hero’ and they were also required to prepare a Muffin Morning Tea for the student body.

Year 8 had to devise a ‘Use it Up’ meal – see pictures.

Year 9 and 10 were set the task to choose a seasonal ingredient and create a dish/snack around it, focusing on sustainability. See photos.

Transport Update

Morning Drop-Off and Afternoon Pick-Up


Thank you so much to all of our volunteers who drive our school vans each day. A special shout out to those driving Lithgow vans during the closure of the Mt. Victoria Pass. The additional 25 minutes – 1 hour and 20 minutes it is taking to get to and from school does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

Below is a reminder of the updated procedure for morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. Please reach out if you have questions or would like to give feedback.
