Mount Ousley Public School

Our Food Forest @MountOusley is starting to produce vegetables. Today the kids enjoyed some of the produce. #outdoorlearning @tonialgray @TiffanySinton

It’s NAIDOC Week! With the help of Boomerangles, we’ve been learning about the science behind returning boomerangs and how they fly!

Our Food Forest plants are growing! Soon we’ll have cucumbers, strawberries, watermelons, sunflowers and more!

Proud of our students’ personal reflections and tributes for Remembrance Day. Lest We Forget.

Turning “the train game” into a maths lesson! Can we combine the 4-digit carriage numbers and have the end result equal 10? A lot of flexibility and perseverance was required!

Getting ready for our annual egg drop STEM challenge! Can we design a device that will help an egg survive a two-storey drop?

This #EmpathyProject is all about taking care of kids’ mental health & happiness. These young #SocialEntrepreneurs created a weekly recess time Mindfulness Club. @MountOusley #socent #MentalHealth #publiceducation @NSWEducation
