Another school year over
December 25, 2025 in Schools

That's it for another year. High school students leaving forever and some big challenges from real life. Primary school students off to different schools and different ways of learning. Oberon Matters wishes all graduating students the very best for what comes next.

It's back to school time
October 23, 2025 in Schools

Everyone is back for the final term of the 2025 school year and life has become very busy for the students. Unfortunately, it looks like one local school, Black Springs Public School, might not make it into 2026 because of the rules about the minimum number of students. It's always been a small school, but for the bureaucrats, too small is too small.

School Daze.
October 16, 2025 in Schools

With all the schools on holidays there wasn't much going on last week, so instead here's an article from Australasian Science magazine about an education fad that persists to this day despite no real evidence that it works and some very real reservations about possible bad effects.

What did you learn in school today?

A reasonable question, but if addressed to a student at one of the schools around Oberon you might just get a very long answer which can be summarised as "A lot".

Do some good in your spare time
July 3, 2025 in Community and Schools

In 2011 an amazing program was started in NSW schools designed to teach primary school students about right and wrong, about how to behave towards others, how to use evidence instead of guesswork and how to live a good life. Since then over 70,000 children have been through the program. It is staffed completely by trained volunteers who give up their time each week to sit in a classroom and encourage students to do better with their lives.

Oberon Public School is looking for more volunteers. You can find out about volunteering and training here, and for more information specific to Oberon please contact Melanie Lawson on  or see the brochure here.
