Bush Walk
-thumb-200x150.jpg)
I recently went for a walk with the Year 4/5 Class in our bush area. We saw many flowers including this lovely Banksia. If you have some time, you are most welcome to go for a walk around our gardens while the wildflowers are out.

In the special video, we present some of the finalists from the Orange Grove animated film festival. These were premiered at a special red carpet event on 22 August 2008. All of the videos are also available in podcast form (so that you can watch them on your iPod) at the school podcast site, Podkids Australia.

World Premiere
The next school assembly (on Friday 22 August) will be one to remember! It is the world premiere of seven animated films produced by talented OGPS students.
Following the films, we will have a short awards ceremony (the 'Ogscars'). At this ceremony, we will present our film-makers with a number of amazing prizes (including three iPods kindly donated by Apple Australia).
The show starts at 8.45 am sharp. Don't miss it!

Smartboard Surprise!
At our last assembly, the P&C surprised the entire school community (teachers included!!) with the fantastic news that they would be funding two new interactive whiteboards for our students.This means that every student at Orange Grove Primary School will have access to these fantastic learning tools.
Thanks to everyone who cooked sausages, helped in the canteen, bought raffle tickets or rattled a tin. This is an amazing achievement and will enable OGPS to keep providing a truly world-class education for our students.

Parent Workshop

The worshop was a great success. Everyone learnt how easy it was to make healthy lunchbox and picnic foods that kids and adults would love.
Fantastic Community

Last Sunday we had a fantastic response to help develop our vegetable garden. Parents should be very proud of what they achieved in such a short time. Everyone enjoyed themselves including my dog. She managed to dig a few holes but not in the right places.

Welcome Back
Welcome back everyone. I had a lovely break catching up with family and friends. Term 2 is shaping up to be an exciting one. Today we had our school photographs taken. The whole school shot will look great. It was lovely to see the school canteen open with thanks to Kathy and her team. April 28, 2008
ANZAC Day ceremony
This Friday 2 May, we will be holding an ANZAC Day ceremony to remember the servicemen and women who have served Australia in past and present conflicts.
On the day, students who are members of community organisations (such as scouts or cadets) may wear the uniform of those groups, but we ask that other students wear full school uniform on the day.
Community members are invited to join the ceremony, which will be held at 9am by the flagpole.

Food for Thought
In this wonderful video, Sir Ken Robinson presents a compelling, challenging and entertaining view of what is required to prepare our children for the future. Take the time, make a cup of coffee and spend 20 minutes thinking about the future of education.

Once your student has received his / her password, you can sign up to receive a weekly email that provides information about your child's progress. This is a very useful resource, as it provides information about areas of strength, weakness and number of questions answered correctly.
To sign up for a weekly Mathletics update, sign up here using your child's Mathletics username and password.

A First for Orange Grove
One week ago, parents, staff and students were having breakfast and very patiently waiting for their new laptops. At that point, I could see the dream becoming a reality. The students, supported by their parents, were receiving their very own laptop to use in the classroom. 
On Monday, these same children walked proudly into school carrying their new tool for learning. You should have seen the SMILES. Well done everyone.
