Update from the Campus Principal

Dear Families,

It has been a fantastic period of learning and engagement across our campus, with many highlights worth celebrating.

Our Primary swimming program continues to go from strength to strength. It has been wonderful to see students building confidence in the water, developing their skills, and most importantly, embracing the experience with such enthusiasm. Their positive attitude and willingness to challenge themselves has been outstanding.

A sincere thank you to our community for your generous support of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. Your donations and orders have been greatly appreciated, and this collective effort reflects the strong sense of care and community we value so highly at Nathalia Campus.

Our recent Sovereign Hill excursion was a great success. We have received excellent feedback regarding the behaviour, engagement and attitude of our Primary students throughout the experience. They represented our campus with pride, demonstrating our core values while making the most of this rich learning opportunity.

Looking ahead, exam period is approaching for our Secondary students. This is an important time, and we encourage students to stay organised, prepare thoroughly, and seek support from staff where needed. Establishing consistent study routines will be key to their success.

To finish the term, we are excited to be heading to Melton, where our students will connect with peers from the Swan Hill, Bendigo and Melton campuses. This will be a valuable opportunity to build relationships, collaborate and strengthen our wider school community.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support.

Mr Darren Burn
Acting Campus Principal

Excursion to Sovereign Hill

Primary Excursion to Sovereign Hill

On Friday 29th May, the Grades 3, 4, and 5 students got up before sunrise and boarded a minibus with Ms Rayo, Mr Bechaz, and some parents to head to Sovereign Hill, in Ballarat, for the day.

The excursion was to provide extra learning opportunities for the students based around their Cross-Curricular subject of Humanities.

It was a chilly start to the morning, but the student’s eagerness soon warmed up the atmosphere. Upon arriving, we broke up into x3 different groups, joining Bendigo, Swan Hill, and Hamilton students, to partake in several different activities, ranging from Gold Panning, Education Session (Gold Fever) and a Gold Pouring demonstration.

Students were also given time to explore the venue, and many spoke in amazement of the old buildings, the horses pulling the carriage and the variety of wares in the Candy Store. Mr Bechaz even received feedback from the owner of the Saddlery store who said the OSG students were the most well-mannered, diligent, and respectful group that she had seen for quite some time and all the students should be very proud of how well they represented OSG on the day.

Alas, our time ended quickly and it wasn’t long before we got back onto the bus again, ready for the journey home. Overall, it was a wonderful day for the students to experience many things about early Australia and life in the era of the Gold Rush.

SLT spotlight update:

This week has been a busy one of getting assessments completed and preparing for revision week. Following on from Mr. Vetere, the Regional Principal's visit, the SLT have been promoting Respect for our spaces, teachers, and each other in a few different ways. One of these is including Respect as the topic for Teamwork Tuesday activities in the morning. Another is our implementation of the SLT fortnightly Student Spotlight, which you will hear about later in the Newsletter. Next week we will have mentoring to discuss exams and share tips for revision and the reduction of stress. Wellbeing won't be running next week or the week after due to exams and exam revision. Planning for the end of term events day with Melton, Bendigo and Swan Hill is also underway, with more details coming soon!


Basketball at Nathalia Community Centre

Students, on Friday, went to Nathalia Community Centre, where they participated in a basketball game. Throughout the session, students demonstrated strong basketball skills, including dribbling, passing, and shooting. They showed excellent initiative by actively engaging in activities, supporting one another, and contributing positively to team play. Students also displayed outstanding sportsmanship, treating teammates and opponents with respect, encouraging others, and maintaining a positive attitude throughout the day. Their enthusiasm and cooperation helped create a successful and enjoyable sporting experience for everyone involved.
