Winter Sports Carnival
· Please send me an email with permission for your
child to participate in the winter sports carnival by MONDAY (30th
of May) – they are not allowed to attend without permission. You can either print this out and sign it (to send with your child Monday) or alternatively, email me with permission and preference for collecting your child. Thank you so much.

Friendology
As part of our whole school approach to managing and supporting student friendships at OLC, we will be continuing to use the URSTRONG Friendology program. URSTRONG is an award-winning friendship program that empowers kids with friendship skills to create communities of kindness in schools.
In order to really expose the students to this program, this year you may have
noticed that the students have a friendology diary. Every month there is a key
focus, it would be great if you could read through this focus with your child
and have an open discussion.
Throughout this program so far in 5R we have revised the four friendship facts
(see below) and looked at healthy and unhealthy friendships.
Last week, we focused on Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTS) and perfectionism.
We learnt how to identify the students most persistent A.N.Ts (Automatic
Negative Thoughts) and learnt how to develop ways to focus on more positive,
enabling thoughts. We also discussed perfectionism and how it can really
destroy a process and learning. We discussed that it was important to aim high
and try your very best however, aiming to be perfect in everything is not
feasible or sustainable.
Human Development
· I have sent each child home with a note and I have not yet received all of these slips back. Please ensure they are returned also by Monday (the 30th of May). I can not extend this time. Below is the information from last weeks blog post.
On Thursday, week 7 the students will
participate in Human Development talks that will be presented by The Centre for
Life, Marriage and Family. They will cover an introductory program on growth
and development with the Year 5 students via zoom.
A permission slip will be sent home this week that must be completed and
returned for your child to participate. Please ensure this is returned by the
end of week 5, otherwise we will assume your child is not participating and
will be sent to another classroom. We will also be starting the discussion of
our bodies and their changes during Health sessions over the upcoming weeks
also. If this is something you would also like to start discussing at home over
the upcoming weeks, that would be supportive.
Congratulations to our Star Citizen winner of “appreciation” this week and merit winner
