Ormond Primary School

OPS @ MUMA 🖼️🎨🎶

Last week, our Art Competition winners enjoyed their day out at the Monash University Museum of Art.

Students where taken through the exhibition, ‘the Sound of Art’, by the artist in residence. Then they worked with the Artist to explore their voice in art and make their own musical instruments.

Thank you Ms Kupfer for organising such a wonderful competition and excursion.

This morning we launched our Maths Extension Program to celebrate and extend our high abilities students in Yr3-6.

5/6 ENGINEERS 👨‍💻 👷‍♀️

Our Yr5/6 students engaged with AREEA and the Bright Future STEAM Program last week to further build their expertise in all things engineering.

OPS Indigenous Logo ♥️💛🖤

To mark reconciliation week, we want to draw our communities attention to something we are very proud of, our OPS indigenous logo.

The Ormond Primary School Indigenous logo was created by artist Glenn Shaw, a proud Bunurong Aboriginal man.

The logo represents the school’s connection to the Boonwurrung/Bunurong and Wurrundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation as Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land.

This artwork represents the Bunurong People and connection to country.

The logo includes five colours in the campsites which represent the Apical Ancestor Groups of the Bunurong People. The waterway in the centre of the logo represents waterways such as Kananook Creek and Sweetwater Creek. It also includes colours to represent the different seasons and colours of nature. It also includes footprints of the Bunurong People, wallabies, wombats and the footprint of bunjil (eagle).
The leaves in the logo are from the Peppermint Gum which is the leaf commonly used for smoking ceremonies, and also symbolises the oak leaf shape which is also included on the Ormond Primary School logo.

We look forward to sharing more stories and activities from Reconciliation Week throughout the rest of the week.
