"I always liked the idea of learning through play," teacher Fiona Medley says. "When we explore vocabulary through movement, the smiles come out a lot more, and we have a lot more fun."

Conferences take place in October, starting with our high schools this week. It's a chance for families to stay involved in their students' academic lives. @OPS_NorthHigh junior Jayohna Sims shared insight on why they are so beneficial.

"It’s so important to me that my students understand the difference between persevering in the face of a challenge and “spinning their wheels” when they’re stuck."

Boy walks into reception late for school.

Receptionist says ‘late again!’

Enters building. Passing member of staff says ‘are you late again?’

On his way to class, someone else asks him for a minute. ‘Are you ok?’ They say.

Boy confides that he has no bed. 4 children in a 2 bedroom house. Mum has late nights and he gets himself ready.

Good to consider how we may greet some children in a morning.
