Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Welcome to Term 2. I hope all families enjoyed a restful break and that students have returned refreshed and ready for a productive and engaging term ahead.
We are already off to a strong start with exciting opportunities for our students with our Mother’s Day Morning Tea, which I know is a special occasion for families, as well as our Year 7, 9 and 11 trip to Berwick Campus for OSG Aware, providing meaningful connection and learning experiences. In addition, students will have the opportunity to engage in programs such as Mission Nutrition and the Geography Competition, among other enriching activities planned throughout the term.
As we move into another busy period, I would like to remind all families of the importance of accurate attendance processes. If your child is absent from school for any reason, it is essential that notification and approval is provided through Sentral. This ensures that our attendance records remain accurate and that we continue to meet our duty of care and compliance requirements. Your support in this area is greatly appreciated.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge the ongoing efforts of our staff, who continue to work diligently to provide high-quality learning experiences, as well as our students who are demonstrating a strong commitment to their studies.
We look forward to a positive and successful Term 2 and to partnering with you in supporting your child’s learning journey.
Kind regards,
Brett Maxwell
Campus Principal
A note from our Regional Principal Mr. Frank Vetere
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!
