PRINCIPAL’S REPORT
Welcome back to the final term of the year. As always at OSPS, the term will be full of exciting activities. There will be incursions, excursions, division and region athletics, Japanese Dress up Day, Parent Group activities, a curriculum day and the much-anticipated Year 2 production. Before you know it, we will be celebrating Christmas and the summer holiday break. But most importantly, there will be lots of learning to prepare the children for 2023 before that happens.
In just over two weeks, we will begin our 2023 Prep Transition program. This will be held over four Friday afternoons where our new preppies will be involved in various activities to help familiarise them with primary classroom. We are so happy to welcome the children back to our transition program face to face as it is such an important part of preparing for primary school.
The building project continues to take shape with the whole year 6 area clear, footings are in for the decking and the builders are prepping for the footings and slab for the new kitchen/science area.
Have a great week everyone.

Principal
