Dr Jarad!

A huge thank you to the amazing Dr Jarad Martin who visited our class this week to share his wonderful knowledge  and expertise in mathematics. Students learnt about Fermi problems and used this technique to work out a range of interesting problems, including how many hairs on the average OC students’ head!

2019 Student Leaders

Well done to all of our Year 5 students who took part in our leadership program over the past 2 weeks. Students learnt about and discussed the skills, qualities and values of being a leader; listened to a talk from our current school captains, Georgie and Hamish about their experience as school leaders and also spoke with Mr Selwood about the roles and responsibilities of leadership. It was great to see so many amazing students put themselves forward and share their applications for a leadership position. After our session yesterday, all Year 5 students took part in a peer vote for their top 3 male and female leaders.
 
Congratulations to Rebecca, Seb, Sienna, Issach, Jemima and Rowan! On Thursday 6th December beginning at 9.20am, these students will present their captaincy speeches to K-5 ready for a whole school vote. Parents and family are very welcome to attend this event. We wish our 2019 leaders the very best and look forward to their leadership journey!
