20.01.2022 Our transition program got a little clucky today. Some Yr4 students from Albion Park Rail Public School got to meet our 3 week old chicks.

19.01.2022 At the eleventh hour, on this eleventh day of this eleventh month, 2020, our school paused to commemorate Remembrance Day. Members of our HSIE faculty joined with our student leaders in reminding us of those who have bravely served our country and sacrificed so much so we can live in freedom today. It was a moving time of solemn reflection and we are extremely proud of the respectful manner in which our school community participated in this Remembrance Day Assembly. #lestweforget2020 #remembranceday #oakflatshigh

We connected to Country, heard the dreaming story of the Black Swan, painted artworks and played Indigenous games with Mrs Cantrill. It was a deadly day!

Students will register their subject selections throughout the coming week.

16.01.2022 Year 8 students in Ms Hartley’s Art class are creating artist books that reference the 2019-2020 Australian bushfire season, known as Black Summer. Today students have experimented with mark making for the first layer in their book, using ink and creating their own paint brushes from natural materials from the environment. Students will continue to experiment with a range of mediums such as watercolours, ink, collage and text that will represent the geographical features of the South Coast Region and destruction of the bushfires to the environment and communities.

14.01.2022 The Kitchen Garden was a hive of activity this afternoon with Yr7 students tending to the crops. The recent weather has created perfect growing conditions.

14.01.2022 Over the last 4 weeks, Oak Flats Primary School students have been travelling to the Ski Way Park in Oak Flats to engage in our HSIE Transition Program. With the help of our specialised teachers, the students were busy water testing, field sketching the local area, observing birds and discussing human impact on our environment. The students have had a great time engaging in the hands-on lesson activities whilst enjoying the beautiful surrounds of our school.
