Victory Unleashed!

What an incredible day on the court! Our boys' and girls' teams faced off against Mudgee High School yesterday, and they absolutely dominated! Both teams emerged victorious, girls won straight sets and the boys went down to the wire, winning 2 sets to 1! Now, we're gearing up to take our winning streak to the Western Finals to be played at Blayney High School.

We celebrated the wonderful women in the lives of our students. Families enjoyed chatting over a bacon and egg roll prepared by OPS staff. We appreciate everything these special women do for us on a daily basis. Thank you to the P & C for organsing a wonderful gift stall. We wish all of our mum's a happy Mother's Day for Sunday 11th May.
