From TheHeadmasterFrom The EditorWe all love success stories and thatis one thing I am never short of whenit comes to writing articles for theOracle. Hardly a week goes by whenwe do not celebrate an achievementof some kind. We see whole yearlevels receiving accolades for nationaland international competitions, wehear about team wins and individualaccomplishments, both inside andoutside of school.We cannot be called boastful forcontinually bragging about ourstudents because everything that iswritten here is true. It may sounda bit of a cliché to say “OrmistonCollege students live by theirschool motto” Seek to Achieve, butthat is exactly what they do. Theycontinually strive to achieve theirgoals and the following pages willillustrate the spirit and perseveranceof our tenacious students. Enjoyreading what I have enjoyed writing.A very happy New Year.Valerie WarwickEditorReading through the pages of the Oraclemakes me appreciate just how far ourstudents have come in the period of oneschool year. None more so than ouryoungsters in the Early Learning Centre,many of whom were only 15 monthsat the beginning of the year but nowrun around as confident two year olds.The growth that has occurred in motorskills, oral language and independencein our toddlers and Pre-Preps is trulyremarkable.Our Prep students however, started the year full of excitementyet somewhat wary of their fellow acquaintances and their newsurroundings. Now they are social little people who have completelytaken over the Prep area and turned it into their very own space. OurPrimary Students have also progressed. I see growth in children fromYear 1 through to Year 7, not only in knowledge but also in socialbehaviour. Our teaching has shown them to be more enquiring, moreassertive and through their learning they are experiencing rewardingresults academically and in sport, music, art and drama, creating ahappy, healthy working environment.Our Senior Students have advanced in both studies and maturity.Throughout the year they have taken on new challenges withenthusiasm and vigour. Our Year 12 graduates took on board all theadvice they were given at leadership camp and proved themselves to begreat role models working tirelessly in their final year.The photographs and articles are evidence of the growth andaccomplishments our students have experienced over the period of ayear. I hope you enjoy reading the following pages and that you mayshare in the pride I hold for our students.I wish all families a safe and relaxing break and a very happy New Year.Brett WebsterHeadmasterSemester Two Edition 2010 The Oracle 3
