O'Connell Public School

We arrived at Glenmore Park to a beautiful morning and about 23 degrees. A well drilled Millfield PS challenged everyone one of us. We ended up coming away 2-1 victors and have advanced to the PSSA State Finals in late September. Great job team!

Judo

Last week our students enjoyed the opportunity to learn judo skills at Pollet's Martial Arts, Bathurst. Martial arts is great for kids' attention span, memory retention, coordination and fitness as well as teaching them discipline in a fun and safe environment.

Marvellous Mathematicians

Students in 1/2T are mastering the art of filling ten frames with different strategies. They are using their problem-solving skills as they explore different ways to represent numbers and understand relationships between them. From grouping numbers to finding patterns and making predictions, our young mathematicians are thinking critically and creatively. All students are developing a deep understanding of number concepts and enhancing their mathematical reasoning.

Jersey Day

Thank you to everyone for making Jersey Day a huge success! It was fantastic to see everyone wearing their favourite sports jerseys, raising awareness of the importance of organ and tissue donation. We raised a total of $200 to support this valuable cause.
