Out and about on Work Experience This term, Year 10 students are completing Work Experience in Oberon and surrounding areas. The purpose of our Work Experience Program is to provide an opportunity for our students to spend time with an employer in a real workplace. This a great way to introduce students to a working environment, and even a career. They improve or gain experience and explore amazing industries that are right here within our community. Students may gain after school and holiday work or even an apprenticeship. Ebony Fenton - Year 10 Advisor
Coaching Tennis Oberon High SLR students have been assisting Andrew Mitton to run the Tennis in Schools Program for Oberon Public school. At least five sessions have been held with every student at Oberon Public having the opportunity to participate in tennis related activities. There have been introductory sessions that provide hitting, hand eye coordination court sense and games and activities in relation to tennis. SLR consists of a Sports Coaching module and helping with the tennis program has allowed them to firsthand get involved in coaching young students across a range of skills. The SLR students have been fantastic throughout the sessions. Amber Hibbert - Deputy Principal Rlg
Which is a nice segue to ... Oberon Public School Sensational Snapshots 1/2B have had the pleasure of welcoming Mrs Sellers into our classroom for her teaching practicum. She has guided the class through an exploration of quality literary features, such as alliteration and personification through the text "Mallee Sky". Students have had the opportunity to take their newfound knowledge outside, where they observed different objects within our school environment. This hands-on experience helped deepen their understanding of key concepts. Thank you Mrs Sellers. Tamara Ballas l Classroom Teacher
