Welcome to the 2026 School year!
Some of our major sporting events are locked in with their dates – please see the list below. While other events like Hoop Time are yet to be available for bookings, I’ll update families via Compass and the Newsletter once we have some confirmed dates and details. As always, there are some events that we would really appreciate the help of parent volunteers to ensure we run a quality event and have adequate supervision. If you are interested in assisting with any of those events (WWCC and school registration required – available at a later date), please speak to or email me.
This term, Active Club will be held on Monday and Wednesday mornings (when the weather allows). For those unfamiliar with Active Club, it’s a free before school program that I run with the assistance of our House Captains to encourage students and their families to get moving and to start their day on a positive note via running/jogging/walking laps of our school ovals. Students have their laps recorded throughout the program, with recognition at assembly given once major milestones are reached. Family members are most welcome to join in although we don’t record your laps. Active Club can also assist with student preparation for the whole school Cross Country event that is held towards the end of Term 1. There’s no requirement to register to participate, simply come to school and enter via the Phipps Ave gate (next to OHSC club), once there see myself or the House Captains who will have the lap recording cards and then join in for as little or as much as you like. Active Club runs from 8:20-8:45 on Monday and Wednesday mornings and will be held in Terms 1 and 4 only. I hope to see you all there.
