Thank you for everyone who participated in parent/teacher/Student Learning Conversations last week. It is something that is always a bit of a marathon for our teachers but they are really important in keeping parents informed of progress, strengths and next steps.

We are having an information evening for families who are enrolling or considering enrolment for 2021, starting in the school hall at 6pm. All are welcome to come along to see aspects of the school programme in action and speak with pupils and teachers.

After the unfortunate cancellation of Year 8 Camps due to Covid-19, we are happy to announce that we will still be holding a week of activities outside the classroom for all Year 8 students on 9th - 13th November.

Looking for any donation of surplus laying hens. We have a large run and hutch and use the eggs in Food Technology through our 'Garden to Plate' programme.

Epro8 teams have been working hard to complete their build for the first round of heats. Each team has to come up with a concept and build a structure out of specific materials and within certain rules and criteria. They have been having lots of fun.

Seven OIS students played in a 7 aside football tournament last week and won their grade. It was a great effort and went down to extra time in the final. Congratulations to; Daniel Jorgensen, Alex Bond, Maxwell Winter, Jack White and Kouper Lynch.
