Thank you
As this is my last newsletter for the term, I
would like to take the opportunity to
sincerely thank the students, staff, parents
and community for their hard work and
commitment to our students and for all
your support throughout the term. Many
items of our School Improvement Plan
have been completed including the
communication parent portal, welcoming
back the community on site. It has been a
real privilege to lead this wonderful school.
Term 3 has been such an inspiring,
engaging and successful term for our
school with many things that have taken
place. Just to mention a few; the amazing
OSPS adventure play space opening and
picnic on the green, Parent
Communication Portal launch, yarn-up
with indigenous families, Story Dogs mufti,
Reconciliation Day, FNC Dance Festival,
athletics carnival, excursions/incursions
(Stage 2 excursion, K – 2 Braveheart,
Planetarium), many sporting (cross-
country, athletics, basketball, netball,
soccer, rugby union) and academic
achievements (Public Speaking), K – 6 disco
and events. Congratulations Ocean Shores
PS. I wish you and your families a safe,
relaxing and happy break in order to be
ready for another busy term ahead. Term

Special P & C Meeting – WEEK 1;
Tuesday 13/7/21
I had a call from Megan Johnson – Director
Educational Leadership on Wednesday re
the principal position. The director
informed me that 'staffing has now
declared the position vacant therefore
representatives from the teaching staff and
P & C will need to be elected and the
elected nominees need to be supplied to
the director by the end of week 1, term 3.'
Therefore, the P & C of Ocean Shores
Public School will need to hold a special
or an extraordinary P & C meeting on
Tuesday 13/07/2021, Week 1
at 6pm with all financial members
invited. This extraordinary meeting will be
to select a P & C Panel Representative for
the Merit Selection process for the
principal position at Ocean Shores Public
School.

Yesterday I had a beautiful surprise by
K/6G (Millie, Jade & Charlotte). Karyn and
Sue and called the office and asked if I

Principal’s Report
they were giving other teachers facial masks and manicures. The reason the girls were having a day spa was the end of their
PDH unit – ‘Personal Hygiene’. What a great idea and thank you K/6G for being so thoughtful. It was so hard to then go back
to work in the last session, as I was so relaxed.
Construction
Thank you to all the community for being patient re all the construction that has taken place over the first half the year. Fingers
crossed that the construction should be finished during the holidays and all the disruptions to our learning environment can
start getting back to normal.
School Security
Just a reminder if you see anything
suspicious or any security issues after school hours particularly on the weekend or in the school holidays, please contact school
security immediately. If we all look after our school and keep an eye out, hopefully our school will remain a safe, secure and
beautiful place. SCHOOL SECURITY: 1300 880 021

1/2H News
We have had a fabulous time together in 1/2H this term. If
you didn't hear about it, we had a naughty bin chicken
(ibis) ransack our classroom and everyone had a good
laugh at Mrs Huxtable chasing it around with a big stick!
With her creative flare, Lexi won the Reconciliation Week
colouring in competition our school held and went home with an
awesome $20 cash prize!
The Athletics Carnival was held on a lovely day. I am impressed
with all the students who entered in the age races and a special
congratulations to those who won!
The school disco was a blast from the past! Amber's hair was so
cool sticking straight up like a point on top of her head. The
Disco Fairies attended and danced the night away.
Well Done Lexi!
Heath, Lava, Noah, Anton and Jackson
were astounded learning that one
Cypress tree in Mexico has a diameter (width) of over 14 metres. The boys went
outside to measure 14 metres to see how wide the tree
would be. It was a long way!

We had a visit
from Ditto this
week.
It was a very entertaining show that got the
important message, of keeping yourself safe, across
in a non-threatening way.
We also enjoyed
Cooking in
Science this term. We made
playdough, Milo balls and
coconut ice.
We have also been learning
French knitting and
Straw Weaving Our classroom is always covered in
strands of wool.

Siarn’s Story - 4/5M
Teo Martin - 5P (I retell the text from each page to my group in my own words)
On Wednesday 23rd June I went to Grafton to play Rugby Union for Far North
Coast. I made the state team in my original sport position ‘centre’, inside the wing
and outside the second five. We are going to play in Mugee West of Sydney in the
bush. Our training is scattered all over the North Coast. First is Lennox Head, sec-
ond is Grafton and third in Crescent Head, 6 hours away. I am excited that I made
the team. By Teo Martin Congratulations Teo and we wish you all the best
from everyone at OSPS!

The Bears and the Cave Last night I was in my bed fast asleep. Suddenly I woke up and the moon was so bright. I raced down the stairs. To my surprise
a little bear was sitting on my chair. The bear was frightened and it ran away. Come back little bear I said. The next morning
the bear was back next to me. The bear brought me to a big cave with two big bears in it. The little bear took me inside the
cave and the bears put me into a little bed. I fell asleep….good night.
By Frederik Korge
Moonlight Last night I was woken up by the moon so I got out of my bed. I ran down the stairs and opened my door and there was a
bear. In the morning we were best friends because we had no other friends. When we were done playing she had to go home
but I stayed home. I was sad so in the morning she came back.
By Martha Smith
The Little Bear Last night I woke up and ran downstairs and I opened up the door. A little bear was sitting on my fluffy chair and the little bear
was asleep. In the morning I went downstairs and saw a sandcastle in my sandpit. I think it was the bear. The bear and I became
friends.
By Tigerlily Dredge
The Bear and Me It was a dark night. I woke up and I looked outside. I saw a bear and the moon. It had craters on it. I was frightened of the bear.
Mummy could we see the moon tonight.
By Arlo Smith
The Scary Bear When I woke up I looked out my window and the bright
moon was very beautiful. I ran down the stairs it was so
bright. I saw the bear and it was running. In the morning the
bear was sleeping next to me. I was scared so I ran back
inside. It came back to me the next day because I gave him
a pear.
