We had a wonderful day at Harry Barker reserve with friendly competition in soccer, hockey, touch and ripper rugby, lawn bowls for our Primary and volleyball for Secondary.
We had some challenging numbers to work with but our senior students really stepped up to make the day enjoyable for all. It was great to see our year 7 students in their first secondary hit out - they held themselves very well in some new sports.
It was great to have our Primary students along with us; there was some wonderful enthusiasm and energy from them.
The beautiful day wrapped up with a shared lunch, smiles and some tired bodies.
Monae has shown remarkable resilience and determination in the face of change. Through consistent effort and a willingness to grow, she has significantly lifted her attention and engagement levels to meet new challenges head-on. Her friendly and approachable nature makes her a valued member of the Year 7 & 8 classroom, always ready to lend a hand and support her peers. Over time, she has cultivated a more positive attitude, becoming not only more confident in her abilities but also a role model for others navigating change with enthusiasm and perseverance. We look forward to seeing Monae continue to grow!
OSG Accelerate is a leadership and personal development program for our Year 12 and 13 students designed to help students learn how to learn, to develop leadership skills and to prepare for the workforce. This programme has been extensively created in response to feedback from the Community.
I am incredibly proud of our students, managing the best completion rate in our region and managing their time expertly to work through high work load and some early technical challenges.
A big congratulations to Acton, Kansas, Tara, Hutch, Dusky, Ashlee, Shania, Jorja and Declan - an OUTSTANDING EFFORT!
To conclude our Cross-Curricular Assignment, students collaborated to design and present their final project. The focus of the assignment was: How might we work as a team to create a positive class and campus culture? Students needed to develop a concept where everyone contributed to each step of the process. They chose to incorporate the OSG Values and Personas, using the school's colour scheme as their backdrop. Each canvas tile came together to form their final creation, showcasing their thoughts on campus culture at OSG.
Our Year 3–4 students have been full of energy and determination as they prepare for the upcoming winter sports season. With focused training sessions that include sprint drills, teamwork challenges, and skill-building exercises, they’re showing great commitment and enthusiasm. It’s exciting to see their confidence grow with every practice!
Watching them in action, it’s clear that some of OSG’s future sporting leaders are warming up right here on our school fields. We can’t wait to see them bring their best to the Winter games happening Week 3 Friday, the 16th!
Last week, the Year 5 & 6 class found themselves in a zesty predicament when Mrs. Coker challenged them to taste the tartest of all fruits — lemons! With puckered faces and squinted eyes, they engaged every one of their senses to capture the full intensity of the experience. Their mission? To craft a descriptive piece brimming with adjectives and figurative language that would make readers feel the sour shock of that first bite.
This year OSG has moved to a globally standardised Persona Program as the centrepiece of feedback and development for all staff as a High Performing Team.
Each year, the Persona annual cycle will begin at the same time for every OSG staff member, when parents, selected students and colleagues will complete questionnaires to share feedback about staff members’ demonstrated actions and behaviours. This feedback informs staff’s individual development goals covering strengths and areas for growth, that they will focus on for the coming year.
In early May 2025, parents and secondary students will receive an email with information about the program, and a link to the short questionnaire(s) that they will be asked to complete by 31 May.
Parents, your feedback is very important to us, and your support will be much appreciated. You and your children are the key recipients of the Campus Principal’s and Educators’ work, and are best positioned to help them understand their strengths and opportunities for growth!
If any support or assistance is required please contact Jayde Lodge or Kaytlin Walters.

Student Driver / Rider Policy
PURPOSE
It is expected that students will normally travel to and from school using school provided transport, or where
this is not available, in private vehicles under the supervision of a responsible adult. However, this policy
aims to clarify what measures must be implemented for the safe transportation of students if the Campus
Management decides to permit the riding of bicycles, e-scooters and e-skateboards, or for students to drive,
or be driven by a student, to or from the Campus.
