25.01.2022 AN INVITATION FOR ALL To a joint meeting with New Town High School Association to discuss the Hobart City Partner Schools consultation and model forming process.... New Town High, on Tuesday the 15th of September at 7pm We are being given a great opportunity to express our thoughts about what shape we'd like to see High School education at Ogilvie and New Town take. We are being asked our thoughts on questions like these: What do you want it to look like? How does it relate to our earlier conversations around a dream school? Is it still all girls here and boys at New Town? Co-Ed for some subjects or Co-Ed across all subjects? We want to represent Ogilvie High's diversity of needs and hopes, to do that we need your voices. We hope to see you there. Miranda Shepheard, School Association Chair. [email protected]

Our page is currently under construction and you can see the progress so far posted below. We think it is looking great!

20.01.2022 Grade 3/4 McCambridge were showing great concentration and listening skills this week. They very creatively drew some characters after listening closely to their description. The descriptions included lots of adjectives to help create a picture in the students’ minds.

19.01.2022 The Middle Years Literacy Project Student Inquiry Leaders attended a learning session with other students and staff from within our school coalition (Lansdowne Crescent PS, Mount Nelson PS, Albuera Street PS, Campbell Street PS, Taroona PS, Taroona HS, South Hobart PS). They engaged with the coalition to brainstorm ways to engage students more in their writing. This information has been collated to plan for Term 4’s Formula 1 Writing Project where students have the opportun...ity to have more say in the writing process, such as choosing: - Text type narrative, persuasive, information - Mode of presentation - Working environment work silent, work with whispers/voices, work with music - Ideas/seeds - Having opportunity to talk to others about their writing - Receiving constructive feedback from teacher - Having a chance to lead their learning -Having a visual to see where they are at with their writing process (time management) Watch out for more information on this project for Grade 3 6 students, as well as what we hope to be some amazing results.

10.01.2022 All Hands on Deck is a programme for Grades1-2 where students participate in small focussed reading groups with an adult once a week. Groups focus on reading skills specific to their reading level and enjoy reading fiction and non - fiction texts on various topics. Students develop confidence in reading, learn new strategies for decoding unfamiliar words, build their fluency when reading aloud and practise comprehension and retelling skills. They develop new friendships wi...th students from different classes as well as relationships with with different teachers and adults across our school. As the name implies it is all hands on deck during this session, with even our School Business Manager taking on a role as reading group leader! In 2020 we extended this programme to include our Prep students for the first time which was very exciting. Many thanks to Mrs King for initiating and nurturing this programme. Your innovative thinking helps to support all our Early Childhood learners to become confident readers.
