PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

It’s great to see progress in relation to the electrical upgrade to the school. Once again, thank you for your patience and understanding while the works are happening.

This week the tickets went on sale for the Year 6 production, Seussical Jr. The show is really taking shape and it’s sure to be another amazing OSPS production. Due to great public interest and the positive ticket sales from Year 6 families to date, we have decided to open up ticket sales to the rest of the school and wider community at 11am Monday 27th August through www.trybooking.com.

Next week our annual Japanese dress up day will be happening on Tuesday 28th of August, hope to see your children wearing Japanese theme.

Congratulations to our athletics team who competed last Wednesday in the Bentleigh District Athletics Carnival. I am very pleased to announce that our school won the shield again. Thank you to everyone involved in training the children and a big thank you to the wonderful efforts in their training and their performances on the day.

Don’t forget to vote for the OSPS Robotics lab via ‘Pick My Project’. See below details and link to lodge your vote! This week we have launched a ‘design a lego robot’ competition for children to build a robot out of lego and e-mail a picture to their teacher to win a great prize. See full details under school matters.

Have a great weekend.

CODE CAMP

Dear Parents,

These school holidays we are hosting a very special school holiday program called Code Camp where your child can learn to code and build their very own iPhone or Android app!

Code Camp has already taught more than 35,000 students in Australia and is a great way to spend time over the holidays as kids have lots of fun with friends while learning important new skills such as  logic, creativity, problem solving, app development and game building in a fun and engaging way, ready to take on the digital world of the future.

Every child attending a holiday camp will build incredible games on our software platform ‘’Code Camp World’’ and walk away with their very own app, playable via the Code Camp App store that they can take home to share with family and friends!

There are 4 Code Camp Camps:
We have created 4 different camps so kids continue to learn new skills with each camp they attend.

Little League (School Grades K-1)
Suitable for Beginners
Our little coders make their first small but important leap from consumers to creators of tech. Build awesome mini-games and learn about coding using a mixture of iPad and physical based learning.

Spark (School Grades 2-6)
Beginners + Intermediate
Fun, engaging and challenging… and are our most known Code Camp that over 12,000 students have completed. Code Camp Spark is where every student in years 2-6 should start their Code Camp journey.

Ignite (School Grades 2-6)
Intermediate + Advanced
If you have completed Spark check out Code Camp Ignite! Students build on their skills and create new apps with increasingly complex logic, more code, behaviours and problem solving. Start with Drag & Drop and then move to Line Coding with JavaScript.

Blast 3D (School Grades 3-7)
Advanced Students Only
Brand new for 2018, your kids will immerse themselves in a 3D world of their creation! Unlock the next level of their coding adventure at Code Camp Blast 3D.
