Volunteers Morning Tea

We celebrated our wonderful volunteers who support our school community across many different areas. Whether it's helping with scripture lessons, being involved with our P & C Committee, classroom reading or assisting in the canteen, their contributions are invaluable. Their dedication not only supports our staff but also enriches the learning and growth of our students. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered in any capacity.

Presentation Night Success

Presentation Night gives us an opportunity to really showcase the talent of our students and the hard work that they put in during the year. Great sponsorship was received from the community which enabled us to provide many of the awards with a substantial gift card as an added reward for the hard work of students during 2024. We had a number of invited guests on the night who accepted an invitation to present awards. The positive feedback from these people is particularly pleasing as they echo what we see each day - great students and a caring and committed staff.

Spooky Sweets!

Our MC class got creative in the kitchen, baking spooky gingerbread men for their Christmas Party, which landed on the eerie date of Friday the 13th. The students enjoyed decorating their gingerbread with creepy designs. It was the perfect mix of festive fun and Friday the 13th spookiness, making their celebration both unique and memorable.

O'Connell Public School

A big Congratulations to Year 3 for coming in above the national average in all five NAPLAN categories two years in a row. Not all schools can say that. In fact, almost none can.

Students from O'Connell Public School read out a message of thanks at the winners' presentation to everyone who helped to make the 2024 gingerbread project such an enormous success. More than 300 images across O'Connell and lots of money raised for the school.
