Update from the Campus Principal

Hi all,

We have enjoyed a fantastic start to the term, with students settling back into routines and engaging positively in their learning. It has been wonderful to see such enthusiasm across the campus, and we look forward to a productive and rewarding term ahead.

Last week, we were honoured to welcome Kim O’Keeffe MP and Greater Shepparton Mayor Shane Sali to our campus. Their visit provided a valuable opportunity to showcase our students, programs, and strong community spirit here at Nathalia. We thank them for taking the time to connect with our school.

We are also very pleased to welcome Miss Shaw to our team. We are excited to have her join us and know she will be a fantastic addition to our campus.

Recently, we recognised Administrative Professionals Day, and I would like to sincerely thank Miss Shaw, Miss James, and Miss Johns for their outstanding work. Their organisation, care, and dedication play a vital role in the smooth operation of our school, and we are incredibly grateful for all they do.

Our secondary students in Years 7, 9, and 11 recently travelled to Bendigo to participate in the OSG Aware program, while we had the pleasure of hosting the Bendigo Primary campus alongside our Nathalia Primary students for the primary sessions. These events continue to provide meaningful opportunities for connection and learning across our OneSchool community.

We also had a wonderful turnout for our recent Mother’s Day event. It was fantastic to see so many families joining us, and the positive atmosphere made it a truly special occasion. Thank you to all staff and students who contributed to making the event such a success, and to our families for your ongoing support.

Looking ahead, we have several important upcoming events:

Primary Swimming – next Thursday

Regional Assembly – next Friday (time to be confirmed)

Driver Awareness Program – 20th May

Mission Nutrition – 22nd May

Thank you, as always, for your continued support of our campus.

We look forward to another great term ahead.

Mr. Burn

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!

Welcoming local leaders to Nathalia Campus

This week we were very fortunate to welcome Shepparton MP Kim O’Keeffe and Greater Shepparton Mayor Shane Sali to campus, giving students the chance to meet local representatives and share in a special moment of celebration.

The visit included a campus assembly where Nathalia graduate Kalarni Phillips was formally recognised as OneSchool Global’s 2025 Victorian Dux, and we celebrated her outstanding ATAR achievement of 95.65.

Both Ms O’Keeffe MP and Mayor Sali spent time speaking with students and teachers and learning more about OneSchool Global’s student‑directed approach to learning.

Ms O’Keeffe MP said she valued the opportunity to hear directly from students about how they take ownership of their learning and how the Learning to Learn framework supports our students to be life-ready learners.

Mayor Sali also thanked the campus community for the warm welcome, noting the strong sense of partnership between students, families and staff that was evident throughout the visit.

This visit was a meaningful experience for our students. Meeting local representatives helps students better understand how government works and how they can be part of their wider community.

The visit was also attended by Regional Director of Learning and Teaching (Secondary) Mrs. Mary Baxter and Global Director of PR and Brand, Mr. Scott Christensen.

Both Mr. Christensen and Mrs. Baxter asked me to pass on their gratitude for the effort our staff and students went to in order to make the visit such a great success. This sentiment was echoed by our local members of Government in their communication to our leadership team and Board members following the campus tour.

And, to keep the gratitude coming, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to students, staff and parents for their support of this special occasion. I could not have been more pleased with how our whole school community so strongly represented OneSchool Global and the many great thing we do as a team here at Nathalia campus.

Mission Nutrition is coming to our campus

On 22 May, all students at OneSchool Global will take part in Mission Nutrition, a full day wellbeing event delivered across all campuses worldwide.

Mission Nutrition helps students understand how food and hydration support energy, focus, health, and learning. The day is interactive and age appropriate, with students working through guided activities led by their teachers.

This is not a normal school day. Students will take part in hands on learning designed to build practical skills they can use at school and at home.

To introduce the event and build excitement, we invite families to watch a short teaser video.
