We are a welcoming, friendly school
community. Parents are valued partners in their children's education and
the school enjoys a strong and positive profile within its local
community.
P & C Association
The purpose of the P & C
Association is to promote the interests of the school by bringing
parents, citizens, students and teaching staff into close co-operation.
The P & C Association also provides funds for a variety of support
equipment and resources.
The P & C meets at 7.00
pm on the second
Tuesday
of each month in the Library. Membership fees are $2 per person. This
is payable at the first meeting you attend.
Parent - Teacher Interviews
During Term 1 all
classroom teachers will organise a parent
interview. In this time, parents and teachers are able to discuss the
educational programs being followed in the classroom as well as the
students’ progress. The students may also be involved in their own
assessment.
Contacting Teachers
Teachers are very
willing to speak to parents but they cannot leave their classes to do
so. If you wish to speak privately to a teacher please contact the
school by telephone or by letter to request an interview at a mutually
convenient time.
Parent Helpers
Parents assist in the
smooth running of our school by helping out on a regular basis with such
activities as Reading, Number, Gross Motor for Kindergarten students,
sport., excursions, Library, Canteen and fund-raising activities. We
welcome your help if circumstances permit.
For OHS reasons all
visitors must sign-on and report to the front office. Our volunteer
helpers will be then issued with a clip-on badge to wear during their
visit and time helping. Our office staff will happily help and direct
you.
Assemblies
Each department holds a
weekly assembly where messages of general interest are given, class
items are performed and the children’s efforts are rewarded with Merit
Awards and Certificates. These assembly times are given on the weekly
Newsletter. Parents are welcome to attend the assemblies which are
usually held on Fridays.
School assemblies are
held daily at 12 noon in the outdoor covered learning areas.
Open Days
Throughout the year
there are a number of occasions when parents are invited to the
school. These are organised to provide an opportunity to see some of the
school’s activities.
