Breakfast in the Park
OMS commenced the 2024/2025 school year with its annual Breakfast in the Park. Held on September 21st at the Lake Cunningham Park, this event was a great way to start the school year allowing existing parents, children and the OMS team to re-connect and new families to meet the members of the community.
