Congratulations to Neil Bramsen, Assistant Principal at Mount Ousley Public School, who this week won the Prime Minister's Prize for Excellence in Primary Science Teaching.
Neil was awarded his prize by the Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, at a special event in The Great Hall of Parliament House, Canberra.
The very first Outdoor Classroom Day was recently celebrated around the world and we were part of the fun. All classes enjoyed part of their day learning outside; some in our new specially designed outdoor learning area and others out on the grass. There were groups of children reading, writing stories, measuring, learning number skills, collaborating on STEM problems and making music.
Book Week 2017 was a lot of fun! The theme this year was "Escape to Everywhere" and a huge, creative effort was put into the costumes which everyone wore. The staff came dressed as characters from Harry Potter and wove some real magic into the day's literature based activities. Children came dressed as their favourite book characters and the school was awash with proud, beaming faces (parents as well as kids).
We celebrated Education Week with an Open Day where families engaged in activities focused on learning from Country. Families sat together around the school, talking and drawing about family histories, making shelters from natural products, and a whole lot more.
