Welcome to Ocean Reef Senior High School

I was delighted when I heard that I was to take up the position of Principal at Ocean Reef Senior High School late in 2007. This delight was overtaken by my excitement at gaining the position substantively from the second half of 2008.  

There is universal agreement on the best things about the school – our students, and the sense of belonging that exists among them and between students and staff. It is clear that staff are appreciative of being able to work with students who are polite, sociable and willing to learn.

2007 School Report

The 2007 School Report outlines the school’s notable success in a range of areas during the last year. These reports were distributed to all parents via the School Newsletter in Term 3 and hard copies are available from the school or from the link below.
Download a copy of the 2007 School Report here.

Improvements to the School Grounds

The School grounds have had some notable improvements this year with the addition of seating on the grassed area at the front entrance to the school. During the midyear break the canteen undercover area was doubled in size, allowing for much needed shelter at break times and the area has quickly become heavily used during lessons.

School Sheriff and student absence SMS service

This year other changes include the ‘Sheriff’ who ensures students maintain a high standard of school uniform and that they maximize time in classrooms.

The recent introduction of the SMS message system allows parents to be informed daily of their child’s attendance and also allows parents to use a SMS message to let us know when students are absent. SMS messages are received as an email and filed electronically, therefore replacing the need for a written note. The number to SMS your child's reason for non-attendance or lateness is 0409 089 900.

Overall these systems contribute to students becoming more focused on achievement and individual goals.

We have a NEiTA Teacher

Laura Wilson from Science has received a Certificate of Nomination for the National Excellence in Teaching Awards. The purpose of the award is to honour and recognise inspirational teachers, and highlight the work of individuals and groups of teachers throughout Australia and New Zealand. Congratulations to Laura for her ASG Inspirational Teacher nomination.

2008 School Yearbook

I commend the work done by the 2008 Yearbook Committee under the guidance of Mr Joel Smoker. The Yearbook summarises some of the many wonderful experiences of 2008 and its value to students, parents and staff will increase for many years to come.  The Yearbook will be available in Term 4 and I encourage all families to purchase a copy as a memento of an outstanding year.

Greg Thorne, Principal
