A brief history of our school Established in 1979

Oberthur Primary was built in November 1978 in readiness for opening day, February 5th 1979. On this day there were 215 students enrolled at the school. During the 1980’s the school population peaked at 535 students in one year.

added. Except for 1981 when two de-mountables were positioned on site, the number of buildings have re-mained unchanged. When the de-mountables were removed, an under-cover area was erected on the site. Gradually the surrounds have been developed until now we have a mod-ern school set in delightful grounds-grounds with garden furniture and sporting facilities well integrated into one setting.

With the building of Leeming, West Leeming and Banksia Park Primary Schools, the schools population has declined. During recent years however there has been some consolidation and we have operated with up to eleven classes from Years One to Seven. When the school was first opened in 1979 there were eight classrooms, an administration block and a Pre-Primary. In 1980, a further four class-rooms and a resource centred were

Oberthur Primary School draws it’s students mainly from the Bull Creek area, but the popularity of the school continues to see enrolments from an increasing number of other suburbs as far away as Fremantle. Dependent upon where they live, our Year Sevens go to Rossmoyne, Willetton or Leeming Senior High Schools. There is some choice in this, but it is limited.

From the Principal Tim Bamber

To our graduating Year 7 students of 2010, 2010 is rapidly drawing to a close and you, our Year Sevens, have just about finished your primary school career. Soon you will transition to the next step in the cycle as you enter High School. The Staff at Oberthur have been enjoy-ing reading through your “Primary School Experience Files”. Hopefully, you have enjoyed your journey through the primary years as much as we have enjoyed being a part of your school life! I arrived at Oberthur as Principal as this graduating group of students entered Pre-Primary. It is a wonder and a privi-lege to have watched you grow, not only physically but also intellectually, socially and emotionally.

When you leave here shortly, remem-ber Oberthur Primary School with pride and always “Strive to Achieve” as oth-ers have done before you. We were reminded of the tradition of students from Oberthur “Striving to Achieve” re-cently when Gowri M……. was an-nounced as Dux of Rossmoyne Senior High School. Gowri graduated from Year 7 at the end of 2005. She has become another role model for you to emulate. It takes a community to raise a child, you have had an amazing school staff, an amazing family and an amazing community to help you get to where you are. It is now up to each of you to represent your community and be amazing in whatever area of endeav-our you choose.

We have a sense of pride when we watch you receive your Graduation Certificate and reflect with amazement on this primary school part of the jour-ney you have completed. From being leaders and role models as the oldest students in our school of over 300, you will move to a new situa-tion as the new youngest kids in a group of 1,500 to 2,000. This will be another steep learning curve for you but you will have your amazing parents and friends to support you through. Your teachers and other staff at Ober-thur have been preparing you for this moment for some time and we are all confident that you will meet this next challenge with confidence, commitment and enthusiasm.

Thank you for being amazing students. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with you over the years. You are special individuals and a special group. We will miss you. Best wishes for an exciting and amaz-ing future! On behalf of the Oberthur Staff and School Community. Tim Bamber Principal December 2010

From the Class Teachers

Dear Year Sevens

It always surprises me how quickly this year passes. You all grow so much in the last year of primary school, not just physically but emotionally that I feel like you enter Year Seven as students and leave well on your way to becoming young adults.

Each of you has grown and all of you can be very proud of your achieve-ments throughout this year and all your primary school years. I love being a part of your growth and have very much enjoyed teaching you.

I sincerely wish you well in high school and in the future. Set yourself short, medium and long term goals in all as-pects of your life. Be open to the many and varied opportunities that will

Some of these include when I be-came a Councillor in 2009 and while I was blue Faction Captain in 2010. I loved both of these jobs because they were fun, I did them with some of my friends, and we could be creative in what we organized. Another thing that I will absolutely NEVER forget was the Study Tour in China. I was away from home for two weeks, and they were amazing! Over all, there was nothing about my pri-mary school experience that I could say I disliked- it was all so brilliant!

I have been at Oberthur since pre-primary. Nearly all my childhood memories involve Oberthur, whether it was the sport carnival or singing in the choir. Next year I am at-tending Perth Modern and I’m really lucky to be going with a few of my friends, though I will miss my other friends incredibly. Because of Oberthur I have been able to go to PEAC and do fun extension work, learn guitar, go on a school camp, and even visit China. It would be hard to pick a favourite moment out of the time I spent at Oberthur, though I know my favourite fortnight would be the China tTrip for sure. That experience was a really memorable one. Though I am excited about high school, leaving behind Oberthur will be hard, but I know my time here was well spent.

Winning the swimming Champion Boy in both Year 6 and Year 7 was a great achievement that I am very proud of. I enjoyed the orienteering and came 3rd place in Year 5. Playing a football game at the Subiaco Oval in Year 7 was another great experience. I am going on to high school with the knowledge and skills gained during my primary school years and I am looking forward to the next stage.

Primary school was so incredible! I made so many great friends and have so many good memories that I will never forget. Kindy started and all we did was colour-in our artwork and make planes from toilet rolls. As we got older, things became harder and school wasn’t that fun anymore. When we got into year 7 we found out that all you do is assignments and homework. It still was so fun as long as you had the teachers supporting you along the way and that is exactly what I got. Every teacher at OPS has been really great. They tried to make the learning fun and half the time they succeeded. I never want to leave Oberthur Primary School. I am convinced that it is the best school in the whole wide world. I really am going to miss all of the teachers and all of my friends. I have too many awesome memories here and I don’t want to leave primary school at all.

My favourite thing about primary school would have to be friends it’s always good to have them. I have been to two schools and out of them I preferred Oberthur. Since I have been at this school I have learnt a lot on friendship and responsibility. I have many wonderful memories at this school. Something I’ll miss the most is Mr J’s lame jokes about the footy. I have had some great teachers over the past years, my favourite ones were: Mrs. McKay and Mr. J, Mrs. Wheatley Mrs. Blake and many more. I have competed in a lot of school sports over the years to many to name my great day in primary school is when we went on excursions. I will miss this school dearly but will always remember what an awe-some school it was. Latisha …..

I’m not sure what I remember was really important at pri-mary school. I can’t remember what really happened when I was younger, but I can easily remember a lot of my most funny moments (though I won’t list them all here). I know I loved representing the school in League Tag, Netball and Football (to name a few). I can’t really remember about the academic stuff, only the sport stuff, because we got to compete against other schools. It was the best feeling when we won, although at the Dockers Cup it was such an annoying feeling. To expand… we were undefeated, won the last game, and then the Bur-rendah kiddies said that we had two extra players on so they wiped our score, so we lost. Sigh. But to end on a happy note: we won overall!

My best moment of primary school was the first day of Year 7, because we were the oldest kids in the school and we got to do lots of year7 jobs like collecting money, going on sport shed, umpiring sports and having the first pick at senior sport. We also were very exited knowing that we get to go on camp. I also liked the last day of year 6, because we knew that the next time that we came to school that we’d be Year 7, so every one went crazy. In Year 6 because there wasn’t many Year 7 people, we got to do some year 7 jobs too. I liked the Year 6 and 7 end off year excursion because we get to go to the Great Escape and go on the trampolines, Jungle Mountain, wa-ter slides and mini golf. Sam, Ali and I had heaps of turns on the trampolines.

The best moments of Primary School would have to be at recess and lunch, sport carnivals, excursions, funny times in class and of course Year Seven Camp. Primary School has given me the opportunities to meet other stu-dents from other schools in carnivals and experience lots and lots of things. I got to know the whole school better as a faction captain because, I was on Sports Shed Duty at least once a week and I’ve made friends that are in all different grades, even in Year 1. The people that I will miss the most would have to be my best friends: Talei-sha, Michaela, Nicky, Marnie, Phoebe, Nina, Shannon, Ellie, Madison, Jeff and Beau. I’ll miss the teachers and especially the students in Year Seven because with some of them, I’ve known them since Kindergarten. If I could change my past, I wouldn’t even correct my silly mistakes, because I’ve loved every part of it.

I loved Year Six when we would play footy with a miniball with the year 7’s. in 2009, I remember going on a lot of excursion with the school. I remember going to Piney lakes with Mrs. Taylor in year 5. I also remember coming into the computer lab and playing Kid Pix and playing games on the computer.

My favourite thing about Primary School was my friends I made. Every one is so friendly in primary school and we don’t have too many problems or responsibilities to deal with. It’s so much easier our biggest problems are that we forgot our hat or we got the wrong lunch. I loved play-ing on the soccer team at Oberthur and vocal. My favour-ite school I have been to is J.R.S.

I’m here on my 9th year from kindergarten to Year Seven. The teachers that stood out the most to me were Mrs. Yates, Mrs. Kennerson, Mrs. Wheatley, Mrs Taylor, Mr. Meachem and Mr. J. I have been on the Oberthur soc-cer tTeam in 2009 and I enjoyed it very much. My Fa-vourite teacher was/is probably Mr. J or Mrs. Taylor, because they raise there voice sometimes, but they still teach me a lot. My favourite year is Year Seven be-cause, I may be leaving all my friends, but it has been a great year, it has had its ups and downs, but it’s still one of the best years. Thank you

I would also remember when my best friend, Courtney and I would go really crazy (we still do) and people will say “we look like idiots”. I will also remember when I first stepped into my first class (Kindy) I didn’t want my mum to leave ,so I would chuck a massive tan-trum in front of everyone. I will always remember the day I got my Volleyball scholarship to Rossmoyne Senior High School. My other memory I will remember would be when I got accepted for a triathlon this year and was 5th out of the water, but the first girl out.

I have been to four different primary schools, but Oberthur is my favourite. I have always been changing to different schools and was apprehensive when I first entered Ober-thur. My worries were gone long ago and I have had lots of fun at this school. The best moments of primary school for me would have to be joining vocal ensemble, becoming councillor, actually taking part in some sporting events and Year Seven Camp. Primary school gave me opportunities to experience many different things making me a lot more con-fident and creative. I loved being a councillor – feeling good when you raise money for a good cause, getting to miss out on classroom work, because you were on ‘Councillor busi-ness’ and making friends with people you didn’t talk to be-fore. I am really going to miss my special friends- Eloise, Felicity, Roshni, Carly, Jess.p, Shruti, Andy and Jeren. When I think about it, primary school would not be so amaz-ing if I didn’t have these people with me. I will really miss my teachers and friends when I go to Rossmoyne next year, but will continue to keep in touch.

Name: Roshni K Date of Birth: 2 September 1997 Star Sign: Virgo Nickname: Rosh Favourite Subjects: Music, Maths and English Most Memorable Moments: Mr J and Mrs McKay arguing about football when no one was in the classroom!

My best memories in primary school were sitting with Jar-rod, Sabastian and Carly in English, where we used to mock everyone in every way. It was a great way to get distracted. Mrs McKay and Mr J’s bickering about oppos-ing football teams was constantly annoying, but enter-tained us at the same time. Primary school, however, would not be complete without my best friends, most no-tably with Carly. These are the times I will miss the most when I go to high school. We do everything together and she is like a sister to me. Alongside Carly are my other friends Nidhi and Shruti, and since they are going to dif-ferent high schools as well, I will miss all the time I spent with them.

Over the years my primary school experience has been terrific. In Kindergarten the teachers I had was a great teacher but she wasn’t the best teacher I had. In Pre-Primary, I had Mrs. Yates she was one of my favourite teachers. In Year 2, I had the best teacher in the world, her name is Ms Orsi. She gave us prizes if we were good. In Years 5, I had Mrs. Taylor, she was the best teacher my mum would say because she covered all the subjects. Next year almost half my class is going to Rossmoyne Senior High, but sadly all my closest friends are going to Willetton.

I have been in three primary schools in three different countries. Xin Hai Primary School in Taiwan, VLCTA (School of Tomorrow) in Singapore and Oberthur Primary School in Australia. This might look cool but it was very hard for me. I had to learn how to interact and study in different languages. I spend about one or two years in each school (not counting Oberthur) so I haven’t really got time to make good friends. I spend the longest time in Oberthur Primary School and made a lot of great friends-Chloe, Pearle, William, Ian, Jeren and maybe Isaac. They made my time in OPS worth it; every minute with them is awesome All the teachers had different personalities, but there were a few that really stood out—Mrs. Lee (from VLCTA) and Mrs. Taylor (from OPS).

Some of my special memories have been while I have been at Oberthur.

In my four and a half years at Oberthur I have experienced an amazing intellectual range and a diverse selection of subjects that has pushed me outside my comfort zone, in learning as an individual. I have also made great friends at this school that will be sadly missed and also cherished in my memory. I have found special talents that were dying to be let out from the darkness, to express its energy and enthusiasm when publicly addressing a crowd. I have gained two new instruments and a great voice for singing in the choir and in drama productions. Even some very funny moments, troubling, saddening, joyful and extremely em-barrassing! I can list endless amounts of examples for those feelings which I have expressed towards and in this school. All these feelings have been under consideration and created a new mature person for me to fit suit in. I will miss the grounds,I thank all the teachers that have taught me so well. As well as the school grounds that have followed my every footstep and shared fantastic memories at recess and lunch. Year 7 and 8 is a difficult move but I think that I’m fully ready for anything thrown at me. I like to look back at myself instead of looking forward to the next year at primary school. I say goodbye to everyone that has contributed in either a major or minor role in my fond memo-ries of Oberthur. Farewell and good luck fellow students and friends in your upcoming future.

In St Augustine’s my best memory is when Mark, Dermott, Ai-dan and I would play with dinosaurs and build exhibits for them. I made the T-Rex enclosures with blocks because I loved T-rexes back then. In Oberthur, when I was five, I loved to play with Duplo which were massive legos and it was fun. Miss Wheatly was a great teacher and Year 2 was just awesome with her. Hanging out with the awesome people at Oberthur has to be the greatest memory though. Sport was really awe-some and I learned new skills with Mr J, because when I was little I sucked at sport, but now I can finish the beep test. I also entered as many sporting events as possible. I was such a loner as a kid, but now I have friends. One of my favourite things to do in class is to move seats because I never know where I was gonna sit and wanted to sit next to my best friends, but for some reason I always got put next to people I didn’t know but it was also a good thing because then I got to know them. Moving seats to me is like making more friends and I love doing that.

I thank all my teachers very much for making my primary school experi-ence so interesting and fun. Another of my best memo-ries was all the sporting excursions and activities that I participated in while at Oberthur. One of the things that really stood out in my time at Oberthur was going to China. It was probably the best two weeks of my entire Primary School. I have had so many amazing experi-ences at Oberthur that I know you can’t do at any other school and for that I am very thankful.

Year 1 was probably known for the inception of work all the time, not just educational fun. Year 2 did have fun days which I will never forget. There was also an end of year excur-sion. Year 3 and year 4 were the same, but in Year 3 were real science experiments. Year 4 was nothing but the Homework and also regular work. Year 5 was too easy, nothing memorable but Year 6 and Year 7 had things I won’t forget like The Great Escape, Watching plays and Movies, Camp and Graduation. Now I say Goodbye. But I am sure I tell you more in Primary school experience. Just remember this will not feature in Pri-mary School Experience. Sorry!

The best things about primary school have been all the great opportunities to learn and have fun at the same time. All of my years in primary school have been won-derful, but the years that stand out the most for me are year 4 and year 7. Moving to Year 4 in Geraldton was a very hard transition for me, because it was my first expo-sure to a normal school curriculum. But after that first term, I found myself enjoying myself a lot more than be-fore. Year 7, the last year of primary school, was one of the most fun years of my life. I went to China, competed in the solar boat challenge and, last but not least, went to camp. My favorite teacher out of all my years was Mr Swartzen-truber, because of his fun RE lessons ( he preached by feeding us Oreos and playing American game shows).

I hope to keep in touch with friends and look back at my primary school years. There are so many things I remember about my time here, but there’s only one thing that stands out the most and that is the Great Escape with my friends on the trampolines and water slides. And one Year Seven got me a ticket to do it all over again so I’m pretty happy about that. I still can’t believe I am in Year 7 and when I am in Year 12, I will think back to primary school.

I have been at Oberthur for eight years and I couldn’t imagine any other school better than this one. What make this school so special is the people in it, they are so kind and warm hearted. Even though many think having a small school is bad, I think it’s great, because everyone knows every-one and that’s what makes Oberthur that much better. My memories are packed full of fun and exciting times and I wouldn’t change a thing about any of my time in primary school.

I have been to two primary schools in my life, SJK(C) Yuk Chai and Oberthur Primary School. I had a really tough life in Yuk Chai, so Oberthur has been fun and relaxing. One of my best memories in Yuk Chai was that when I found out that I was migrating to Australia and my stress disappeared and I gave up on doing my homework and studying so hard, because there was a lot of stress in Malaysia and we usually had 10 home works a day that you have to pass up the next day. I had to do all my homework and also my tuition homework (I had tuition almost everyday back in Malaysia). Life in Oberthur has been really enjoyable and I have experi-enced a lot of new things here. I have made many friends in Oberthur – Abi, Pearle, Ian, William, Jeren and we have spent many wonderful times together.

China Study Tour 2010:

Every two years senior students at Oberthur have an opportunity to visit China

as a part of their studies. This year, in the October School Holidays, thirteen

students from Oberthur spent 14 days in China. Landing in Shanghai first, the

students visited the World Expo the next day and then had a day of sightseeing

including a ferry trip on the Yangste River, before travelling by bus to Hangzhou

to visit our sister school, Xingzhi Primary School. There they attended school for

a few days and experienced a homestay with a Chinese family and joining them

for the National Holiday celebrations.

From there the students flew to Beijing for the second week and visited many of

the famous sites in and around the city. Some of the places visited include

Tiananmen Square, The Forbidden City, The Summer Palace, Ming Tombs,

Temple of Heaven, The Beijing Zoo and Aquarium, The Olympic Park to see the

“Bird’s Nest” and “Water Cube”, as well as experiencing the local restaurants

and market places and of course walking the Great Wall at Badaling. On two

evenings the students enjoyed traditional Chinese performances, one at a Tea

House with a series of acts and the other, a Kung Fu play telling the story of an

old warrior and his young student.

It was an amazing experience for our students and the staff who went along for

the first time and something they should remember for a very long time.

Rottnest Camp 2010:

The five days at camp were amazing and a memory that we will never forget. The first day began on Monday the 29th of November; everybody was excited as we walked on to the ferry waving at our parents as we left. We got on the boat around 10am and we were very sad to leave our families behind. After a few minutes it all sank in and we were ready for our journey. We arrived at Rottnest Island around 10:30 am and all sat down while Mr. J told us what we were going to do that day. We all walked down to the Bike Shed and waited around 10-15 minutes, we got our bikes and waited for others to get their bikes. We rode down to Thompson Bay to get our lunch and played around the bay. We then moved on and rode to Kingston Barracks to settle into our dorms. We unpacked our bags and went to Parakeet Bay for a swim. That night we went to Aristos Restaurant for dinner and were surrounded by a lot of Quokkas. Afterwards we all played near the jetty and everyone was trying pushing each other in. At around 9:00 that night we went down to the beach where the sand dunes and we played a few games of Spotlight and Sardines. Tuesday we all woke up got dressed ready for breakfast and a big day ahead of us. As we rode about 3 kilometres we finally got to our destination point which was Little Salmon Bay, where people went snorkeling and others sat on the rocks and waited for waves to splash them. Everybody was tired from bike riding all day. When we came back to Kingston Barracks we all had lunch and the rest of the afternoon we had free time. That night we had dinner and a quiz night straight after. Wednesday we were woken up by a really big bang by Mr. J. and no-one was happy about that. We then got ready for breakfast and met outside where Mr. J was. We went down into the settlement and got into groups, ready to start the amazing race around the island. We all arrived back at Kingston and some people got to go to the beach. That night we went to the movies and watched Karate Kid. Thursday we were woken up by a big thud on the wall because Mr. J once again banged on it. We got ready and Mr. J took us to breakfast. After breakfast we did the Quokka Safari and after that we were supposed to do a 16 kilometre bike ride around the Island but instead we went to a Waterpark that was in Thompson Bay. That night we had a concert which had outstanding per-formances by everyone and then we had a snowball. On Friday it was our last day and we were all very tired. We and to wake up early again have breakfast then we went on the bus which took us around the island. We stopped at a few places and took a lot of pictures. We came back to the settlement and had lunch and did some last minute shopping. Then it was time to go on the ferry and head home, the ride on the way back was very windy and most of us were sitting outside so we got wet. When we arrived back to Fremantle Harbour everybody ran to their families. We all had the best time on camp and will never forget how much fun we had at Rott-nest Island.

Highschool is:

By the time you reach the end of term four in Year Seven, someone just has to mention the words “high school” and you feel anxious, frightened, or just un-sure. You’ve probably had it drummed into you that this is completely normal (which it is), and a whole lot of other hints for when you begin year eight. Of course most of these “stress less” comments from adults don’t really make you feel any better - they seem like pretty empty words coming from people who left school years ago. That is why I’m going to tell you exactly what starting in year eight is like – hopefully you’ll get a good idea from someone who started at the beginning of this year!

The first day at high school is one of the scariest days of the lot, because apart from Orientation Day, you usually you have no idea what it is going to be like – if you’ll fit in, make friends, be smart enough, etc. On the first day, you don’t know your way around, who your subject teachers are going to be, and some-times if you’ll have any friends in your classes. Being the only girl from Ober-thur Primary to go to my particular high school, I was particularly worried as the only person I knew wasn’t in any of my classes. But, if you give yourself time, be yourself, and be open to new ideas and friendships, even if you are the shy-est person in the class, you are sure to make friends quickly and even discover lifelong friends!

There are many helping hands scattered around the school, so that if you ever need anything you can go straight to them and feel comfortable about telling them your problems. Some of these people include your Head of Year, Head of House, Homeroom Teacher, School Councillor, Student Leaders and older stu-dents. No-one will think any worse of you if you need to ask seemingly silly questions! Getting around may be one of the hardest aspects on your first few days, but armed with your diary and map you will survive well!!! If you really are lost, any of the mentioned people and also nearby teachers are perfectly willing to help point you in the right direction.

Because of the dramatic size difference between Oberthur and high schools, I thought that I would become one of the many average students who have no particularly noticeable talents – but that’s where I was massively wrong! High school provides so many opportunities that it is hard not to go noticed in some

way or another! It would take up many pages listing all of them, but here are just a few; sports (not just “average” ones like footy and netball, but many more including water polo, badminton, touch rugby, etc.), drama, music, art, school subjects, service opportunities, clubs, competitions, students leaders and many, many more!!! After having your first social, sports carnivals, assemblies and lessons, I can guarantee that before you know it, you will be enjoying year eight so much that you’ll never want to leave it! Basically, don’t be afraid to try new things and give everything a go – who knows, you might discover new tal-ents or enjoyable activities!

Overall, high school isn’t as bad as it seems at first, and let me tell you that even though you may not believe your parents when they say high school is just as enjoyable or interesting as primary school, they are actually quite right! Also, don’t worry about the work being too hard or having too much homework– you will be well prepared for all subjects thanks to the teachers at Oberthur Primary! Going into year eight doesn’t take the fun out of school – if possible it actually puts more fun in! High school keeps you well looked after in all areas, no matter what your abilities are like. My advice is just to go with an open mind, ready for big changes but positive ones.

Enjoy yourself as much as possible and good luck for next year! Annabel P Year 8 , 2007 Corpus Christi College
