Oberon Public School
Staff Development Days
OPS teachers and support staff have been engaging in professional learning focused on supporting students with disabilities and learning difficulties. We worked with Oberon High School NSW DOE yesterday to ensure our learning environments are inclusive for all. Today's sessions cover factors that impact learning in the classroom and explore strategies to support these students, approaches for specific learning difficulties, supporting student regulation and creating welcoming and inclusive school environments. The wonderful staff at Oberon Public School are passionate about maintaining and improving the positive and supportive learning environment for all students.

It was fantastic to witness such great sportsmanship, encouragement and resilience from all involved. A big congratulations to all of our young runners - you should be very proud of yourselves!

Bush Experience
What a wonderful day our Indigenous students shared with Jordan Boney at Evans Crown Nature Reserve. The group explored bush tracks, connected with Country, and shared stories throughout the journey. At Flat Rock picnic area, everyone enjoyed lunch together, cooked Johnny Cakes and wandered around the river. Thank you to Jordan for inspiring and guiding us as we celebrated culture, community and nature.
