School Chaplain Ms Cyndi Payne I am here to focus on the well-being of students, parents and teachers. School Chaplains are helping make a real difference in people's lives. I provide support and care for staff, students and families. I am here to walk alongside you. I am here to listen to you and the things that concern you. I believe that when students are heard and their problems addressed (no matter how small or insignificant we think it might be) they behave and perform better in class. I will be with you when words fail and all you can do is cry & I will rejoice with you when you are happy again. I am here to encourage you and help you set goals. It's my hope to see you achieve the goals you set. I am here to help you find solutions and be with you as you seek meaning, purpose and hope on the journey of life. How do you get in touch with me? If you see me around the school, please do not hesitate to come and say hello to me. If you would like to have a private chat with me, you can: tell me in person; tell your teacher; or you can also write your name and room number (contact number for parents) on the self-referral slips located at the front office.

The Pipeline Newsletter 20th September 2023 nature playground.jpg boomerangs.jpg I- Play Parties.jpg Slide31.JPG 1/1 Our students are loving coming to school every day! Principal's Report End of Term Two Term 2 has flown by with a number of events throughout the term. Some include Humphreys Dance, swimming lessons for Pre Primary, Reconciliation Week, NAIDOC Week and our Cross Country which was held yesterday. The weather has been very cold, but has not interfered with our major events. NAIDOC Week was a fabulous week with a huge variety of events. Congratulations to the RAP Committee and the Student RAP Group for organising and managing all the events. It was a wonderful celebration of our community. Faction Cross Country Yesterday was our Faction Cross Country. Congratulations to all our students who ran in the events and to Ora Banda who won overall. There were some very fast times with a number of records broken. I think the training, during the previous weeks, certainly assisted or the cold weather might have just made them run faster to get it over and done with. Congratulations to Miss Winter, Miss Versace and Miss O’Boyle for their organisation prior to the event and the running of the day. Term 3 Tomorrow is our last day for the term. Term 3 already looks busy with four weeks of swimming lessons. Years 1 to 6 will be swimming one of the fortnights during Weeks 3 to 6. All paperwork has been sent out and registrations completed. I am sure the students taking part will gain a lot from the lessons. We will also be preparing for our Athletics Carnival in Week 8. Another highlight of the term is our Learning Journey night in Week 9. This gives parents and extended family a great opportunity to visit classrooms. Staffing Staffing wise we do not have too many changes. We have two new teachers starting next term to assist with relief at this stage, and possibly take any other vacancies later in the year. Mrs Ollington is going on maternity leave later in the term and has finished in her HaSS role. A letter was sent out earlier in the week outlining the teachers taking over that particular role. School Holidays I hope everyone has a wonderful break and you are able to get over any illness that has been going around recently. School recommences for students on Tuesday 18 July. See you next term. . . Community News

Play Parties Play Parties at O’Connor Primary School provide an opportunity for children to get a head start in their schooling. Each session is coordinated by a trained Early Childhood educator and offers structured play-based, hands-on experiences. This is a great environment for young children to establish play routines, develop speech and language, practise social skills (e.g. sharing and taking turns), make new friends and become familiar with the school. Parents and carers are also able to establish a link to the school community, build contacts with other parents and have the opportunity to seek advice from local parenting support agencies. Your child is eligible to attend Play Parties in the year before Kindy. Downloads Initiatives Page
