Our Purpose: To prepare students to be active participants who will contribute to their community.

Here are some dates to remember of events happening throughout term two at OIS.

BOOKINGS WILL BE OPEN NEXT WEEK. These 15-minute conversations are an important part of our learning programme. They allow you as parents to be informed of your child’s progress and what they need to be doing to make further gains. These will take place on Tuesday 8 June, Wednesday 9 June, and Thursday 10 June. The school will finish at 2 pm Tuesday 8 June, 2 pm Wednesday 9 June and 3.00 pm Thursday 10 June.

The Book Fair will be open Tuesday 8 and Wednesday 9 June from 2.15pm to 7.00pm, and Thursday 30 May - 3pm to 6pm. We encourage parents to take time to have a look at the amazing selection of books on offer. EFTPOS is available.

Our Student Council for Terms 1 and 2 is made up of two students from every class. Each week/fortnight the Student Council meet with Mrs Hirst to discuss things from their class meetings, giving the students a voice.

This year OIS is doing something a little different for Pink Shirt Day. Instead, we are having a WEAR SOMETHING PINK day: so substitute uniform item/s for something that is pink.

We have had a number of questions related to school shoes. Students are required to wear plain black leather lace-up shoes. The shoe and sole of the shoe must be black, no big branding detail on the shoe. Canvas shoes and other casual shoes are not suitable. The important aspect to consider is that your child will be wearing these shoes while in our technology rooms where safety is paramount and must be adhered to. This is applicable from the first day until the last day of the year.
