Wednesday 6th June, 2019
PRINCIPAL’S PERSPECTIVE
to be the very best person that they can be.
We value community, at Oaklands. There are
very few places where older students and
younger students come together as we do at
Oaklands, developing a community of care,
empathy, support and trust. Our students also
learn how to shape their world into a better
place. That is why we have such a magnificently
strong student voice through the SRC. It is a
body that brings so much good to this school
and our community.
Primarily Oaklands is an educational institution
and we value education. Education that is
co-educational, comprehensive and inclusive. We
are proud of our students and we are proud of
their achievements. In the last three years
every HSC student has aspired to going to
university and every HSC student has achieved
that goal. We have a lot to celebrate at
Oaklands Central School.
This week saw Ms Carly Murphy started as our
Yr 4, 5 and 6 classroom teacher. I would like to
welcome Carly and say how happy we are to have
her as part of our Oaklands Team. Also, I would
like to wish Mrs Felicity Clifton all the best as
she takes maternity leave
.
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
As you all know, Oaklands Central School is a
really great school. After taking some leave, it
was exciting to come back to see all the great
things that are going on in all areas of the
school. There is such a caring and accepting
culture at Oaklands. It was this idea of our cul-
ture and the things we value that I spoke about
at our whole school assembly.
At Oaklands, we engage in a Positive Behaviour
Program, that teaches students how to be good
citizens. Our four core values of Respect,
Responsibility, Resilience and Safety. We teach
the school’s expectations and the behaviours
that show our values in practice. It is inspiring
to see how students take on those messages
and work hard to live them out.
At Oaklands, we also value the whole person. As
a school we celebrate academic, sporting, extra
curricula and personal growth success. We
care about what students know, what they can
do, their personal growth, the challenges they
meet and who they are. We want each student
In a recent discussion with parents, it was
suggested that I list key points at the end of
this section of the newsletter. The idea is to
make the key ideas more accessible to readers.
Below is the first of this Highlights section
from the Principal.
Peter Craft
Principal
We have made it through another busy and
successful fortnight. Last week students
completed their assessments to assist teachers
in writing their reports and I thank them all for
their focus and efforts to do their best. All
staff are now busy writing reports ready to go
out at the end of the term.
Last week, Jarvis, Chelsea and Phillip headed to
Albury with Mrs Nixon to attend the GRIP
Leadership Conference. The students made the
most of this opportunity and came back to
school with some great ideas. Please take the
time to read their article about their
experience and a huge thank you to Mrs Nixon
for taking our students to Albury and
attending the conference with them.
On Friday last week, a number of OCS
students attended the Finley PSSA Cross
Country Carnival in Urana. From all reports it
was a great day and all students who attended
represented OCS with pride and put in their
best effort in on the day. Congratulations to
Nicholas who came 4th in his race and has
qualified to compete at Riverina level in
Gundagai next Thursday, we wish you the best
of luck. I would like to say thank you to Mr
Knight for supervising and organising our OCS
competitors and all parents who attended on
the day for their support and assistance.
PRIMARY NEWS
Key Points:
The core values we teach students at OCS
are Respect, Responsibility, Resilience,
Safety
Teaching core values and positive
behaviour reduces bullying and increases
cohesion in schools
It is important that the whole school
community model and support our core
values
We nurture “the whole person” at
Oaklands Central School
Welcome to Carly Murphy and best
wishes to Felicity Clifton
Youth Forum
On Tuesday 4th May, a range of students in
Years 10 and 11 attended a Mental Health Forum
in Wagga Wagga. The day provided an
opportunity for students to participate in
workshops build the capacity of a team to bring
back an initiative in our school. We look forward
to seeing them spread the message about the
importance of good mental health for learning.
Whole School Assembly
Congratulations to all secondary students who
received the gold merit awards and school
awards at our assembly last week. The merit
system reflects our PBL goals of respect,
responsibility, safety and resilience. Students
will need to continue to work towards 70 merits
before the end of term to earn their passage for
the rewards day on the last day of term.
HEAD TEACHER NEWS
Today three students represented OCS as
members of the JeriBerriO’s netball team. Elise,
Talara and Halle headed to Thurgoona to
compete in Round Three of the PSSA Knock out
competition. Well done girls for your
commitment to the team and making the most of
this opportunity, we look forward to hearing how
you went.
As the cooler weather is upon us, I would just
like to take the time again to remind parents to
ensure all scarfs, beanies, jumpers, jackets and
gloves are clearly labelled with your child’s name
to ensure if lost we are able to find their owner.
I hope everyone makes the most of their long
weekend, and we will see you all next week!
Warm Regards,
Sally McRorie
Assistant Principal
Student Leadership Day - Sydney
On Thursday 30th May, Liam Curran represented
the school in the capacity of School Captain at
the Schools Leadership Day in Sydney. Liam
spent the day learning more about Parliament
House and meeting a range of government
leaders, including our local leader Patrick Bourke.
He also had a tour of Government House before
being addressed by the current NSW Governor,
Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret
Beazley, AO QC.
Something to reflect on…
No talent required… but will earn you 100%
respect!
Melinda Elith
Head Teacher Secondary Studies
Two weeks ago we attended the SRC
conference in Murrumbateman for one week. We
did Flexies, which are small talk groups where
you talk about a topic like speech improvement
etc. We also went in our regional groups
(Riverina) and discussed what we are doing for
SRC NEWS
Education Week and what we can do to improve
our school. Every afternoon we did night
activities which were orienteering, stargazing
and some relaxation poems before bed.
On Thursday night, to celebrate the last day of
the conference, we had a throwback Thursday
disco. There was a photo booth where you could
take photos with your new friends and there
were cups of tea too.
Written by Holly, Amber, Bailey, Yvonne and
Connor.
On Tuesday the 28th of May, Jarvis, Chelsea,
and Phillip all went to the Albury Commercial
Club to attend the Grip Leadership conference.
We learnt about the people pathway. The
people pathway has 4 sections. Making a
difference to my team, developing myself to
lead, making a difference to my school and
making a difference to my society. During the
day the Loud Noise Boys came to entertain us,
their names were Sam and Cam. There were
lots of other students from other schools
around the area that we could talk to. We had
lots of fun and at the end of the day Mrs Nixon
got us all McDonalds for the trip home.

Early Childhood
survey
As people are aware Oaklands has no availability
of Early Childhood Services.
In an effort to restore such services it is vital to
gauge the number of children who may be needing
this care.
If you are a parent of a child/children needing such
services would you please contact the CWA with
details of your needs, now and into the future for
any child under age 3.
The current Pre-school service takes children from
3 years to school age. Some of these children
come from Urana or Daysdale. If you know any
parent/s in the surrounding areas with younger
children please ask them to be in contact also.
There is also the possibility of Family Day Care
which would be held in the CWA rooms, however,
we need someone who would be willing to take on
this role. Training is available through the
provider.
