I will
not comment on the weather, but I am always proud (and cold) when the nightly news lists Oakey as the coldest place in Queensland. Shame they don't know Oakey is so much more than just cold.
This term has seen many wonderful outcomes at Oakey High.
Our new promotional film has just been released. It looks terrific and really highlights what our wonderful school has to offer. We are proud of this video and hope to spread it far and wide, so our community and the broader community can get a glimpse of our great school. We want them to know we are more than just a classroom and textbooks, we're a welcoming community with lots to offer to support student success. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9hWbGO_Abw
We are proud to shine a spotlight on one of our most innovative and forward-thinking student groups our Hydrogen Horizon Teams. Competing a regional level and excelling, our Teams are a prime example of what students can achieve with passion and purpose.
The Open Rugby League team despite not always winning on the scoreboard has played tough and fair.
Recently a group of wind-swept supporters travelled to Dalby in strong numbers to support the team and they were impressive. Success isn't just measured on the scoreboard it's measured in heart, hustle and how we grow as a team. The team show real school spirit.
Volleyball is gaining real traction here at the school and for good reason. Recently our Year 9 &10s narrowly lost in the grand final of a local comp. The teams are growing in confidence and skills, the best part is they're only just getting started.
We're proud to have a team of passionate, dedicated Heads of Department who go above and beyond to ensure students excel. We thank our Heads of Department for their unwavering dedication to helping students succeed.
We thank our Deputy Principals for the relentless hours. They are the driving force behind so much of what makes our school prosper, all for the betterment of our students and staff.
We recently acknowledged school cleaners' day. We express our great appreciation to our magnificent cleaners for all their hard work in keeping our school clean and safe. Our school wouldn't function without them.
We thank our Industry Liaison Officer Haley Darr for her unwavering commitment in actively seeking and building strong industry partnerships. This creates valuable opportunities for students securing traineeships and apprenticeships.
We have so much talent here at Oakey High, that we need to shine a spotlight on these successes and celebrate our many victories.
