Oberthur Art Show


Students of Areas 5 and 12 held their first Art Show in the library tonight. Many of the artworks were already purchased by parents and friends, but any pieces that weren't taken were soon snapped up in the auction by auctioneer Mr Bamber, our principal. Congratulations to all the students and their teachers, Mrs Taylor and Mrs Arnold on all the wonderful artworks the students had produced. They started by making their own timber frames and covering them in material before sealing them ready to produce their paintings. A great job...well done

GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS MUSIC CONCERT
Here is a video of the Oberthur Students under the direction of Mrs Anne Robinson at the recent Government Schools Music Concert at Burswood. As the Year Sevens were on camp at this time the students here are Year Six and under students performing. Congratulations to Mrs Robinson and all the students on such a great performance. Thanks also to all those who helped to make it possible.



Here is Xin Jie playing here piano solo. I haven't included the beginning as there was too much camera shake. Jamin W also played a piece and unfortunately I wasn't able to be there then, but I do have a clip of him practising that I will post later....

CYBER SAFETY RESOURCES
At the recent Primary Principal's Conference, Michael Carr-Gregg, the renowned child psychologist, raised our awareness of the online dangers facing internet users particularly children. He recommended using a Family Internet Contract and the Free K9 Web Protection Software for educating and protecting our children during their time online, rather than stopping children from accessing all the useful and engaging resources available there.
To find out more about these resources, check the links in the right-hand column under Internet Safety Resources.

GREAT GROUPWORK IN AREA 3 & 4...
Area 3 an 4 students have been working as collaborative classes this year and enjoying rotating through group activities in both language and maths. Mr McLeish has been assisting in his support role and also some parents who need to be thanked for helping to make it all work... It's great to go in and see them all working away very busily as you can see in the photos... You wouldn't believe they are only Year 1 and 2 students...
