This is not only the best result for Ogilvie and a school in Tasmania, it is the best result for a school in the history of Tournament of Minds. Congratulations to all involved in TOM!

Out of twelve teams in their category they finished in the top five in the preliminary rounds and made it into the final. They then finished fourth overall (just outside of the medals). Accompanying staff reported that the students were extremely well behaved, polite, and organised and a pleasure to tour with. We received similar reports from Rotary about the excellent behaviour of our Year 10s at RYDA. Some of our students were recognised for their achievements in the Science Investigation Awards. A news piece is featured in In Touch by teacher Jann Baxter. We also congratulate Remy. Remy, one of our Head Prefects, has been offered a place in the 2017/18 Curious Minds program. Remy is one of 60 female secondary students coming together nationally for an exciting program of learning in Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science, Engineering, Informatics, Mathematics and Physics. We wish Remy the very best with this opportunity. Congratulations to one of our talented music students, Vittoria. Vittoria won both the junior and senior champion of champion woodwind soloist awards at the state competition on Saturday the 9 September. Vittoria is a talented flute and piccolo player and some of you may have heard her perform at the Grade 6 Parent Information Evening held in August. Ogilvie ex-scholars achieving excellence Earlier in the year we learned that Irene achieved dux of Elizabeth College (Years 11-12) and Alice was named dux of Year 11. We were also recently alerted to the success of Abbie and Josie. Abbie achieved dux of her class, and Josie was runner-up dux, in the 2017 Tasmanian Police Force Graduation. This is a wonderful achievement and the Ogilvie community wishes all past scholars the very best in their studies and chosen career paths. If you are an ex-Ogilvie student who has achieved success, or you know of someone who has, please get in touch with us. In 2017 we are celebrating 80 years as a school and will continue to share these success stories via our newsletter and social media presence. End of Term In conclusion, I’d like to thank staff and students for all of their hard work this term. We celebrated the Walkathon last week and many of our achievements in the final term assembly. This week we see House Dance rehearsals and performances come to a conclusion. It has been a productive term of learning where our values of character, community and growth have shone through. On behalf of the school, I wish everyone a safe and restful holiday break. Erika Boas Acting Principal The winning Social Sciences Team who will be competing in Adelaide

Ogilvie and a school in Tasmania, it is the best result
for a school in the history of Tournament of Minds.
Congratulations to all involved in TOM!
