Complaints and Disputes

Homework
At Ocean Reef we encourage you to read with your child for 20 minutes nightly and work with them to practise their basic number facts. In the early years the students may have sight words or Words Their Ways word sorts. Any tasks sent home from the teacher will be purposeful and not set as a matter of routine just for the sake of setting home as evidence indicates that this does not impact upon student success.
Our students work very hard during the day and often ‘doing more of the same’ results in them resenting school.
Instrumental Music (IMSS)
At ORPS, students may be selected to learn the classical guitar or flute. Please click here to read more about the selection process – Instrumental Music School Services
