Hey everybody! Just a quick post in regards to the Feast of the Assumption of Mary Mission Markets for 2023 held this Friday 04 August. This year the Year Five classes will be running a 'Hair Spray and Finger Nails' Market Stall to help raise money on the day. We are asking that all of the boys bring in a can of coloured hair spray and all girls bring in a bottle of nail polish. If you have any bottles of hair spray / nail polish  that you no longer use and would like to send them in, that is fine. If you need to purchase coloured hairspray, it is available at the newsagent and Coles. There is also an option for the girls to purchase some finger nail stickers from Kmart as an alternative to nail polish. Please send this in before Friday. There will also be a Basketball Madness stall running alongside this, but we have all the resources we need to run this. On Friday please send in some coins (if possible), in a ziploc bag with your child's name, so that they can participate...

  Hi team, Just a quick blog post regarding 'Operation Christmas Child' and 'Home Learning'. OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD You would have received a handout last week explaining the following: All the children in Year Five will soon  participate in  'Operation Christmas Child' which is an initiative with the goal of packing shoeboxes full of little surprises to give to a child who may have never received a gift before. By participating in this, our children will have a first hand experience aimed at building the school value of compassion.  Your child will be grouped with four other children to contribute and pack the shoe box. The cost to send a shoe box will be  $2.50 per child .  We are asking you to encourage your child to do something extra at home to earn the money that is needed to buy the item to put into the provided shoe box. Please see below an example of the provided shoe box for Operation Christmas child: It is very exciting for the children to sha...

  Dear Parents, First things first, let's talk about the winter break... whether you travelled to tropical beaches, or like me had a cozy staycation binge-watching Netflix while devouring snacks and breaking up the occasional fight.... special memories I'm sure were made. Now let's address the elephant in the room - the inevitable Monday morning! We know this can be tough, especially after days of staying up late and soaking up the freedom of sleeping in, but fear not, buckle up and get ready for the rollercoaster ride of knowledge, friendship and unforgettable moments this semester will bring. Farewell Mr Lee During the last week of school, it was wonderful to celebrate the amazing contribution Mr Lee has made in education over forty years, and the indelible mark he made on our lives. Below you can view the Year 5C gift. We gifted Mr Lee with a Wall of Hearts and an Essendon hot water bottle which I am sure has already been put to very good use. Thank you to Pippa who conv...

  Dear Parents, Welcome to the final countdown for Term 2. I cannot believe how quickly this term has flown by and how much learning we have jam packed into ten weeks. Dance Concert: What a buzz there was around the school. We are so lucky to have Mrs Haines in the house.... how was that soundtrack? The kids were in such great spirits, and I was amazed at their stage presence. Thanks to those parents that were able to attend and helped in getting make-up and costumes sorted...greatly appreciated! Drum roll please  ....... Congratulations to our Week 7 Merit Award winner,  Keenan Rogan Cross country carnival I truly have never been prouder of 5C and our class culture, than on this day. The Spirit of Jesus moments shown by your children didn't go unnoticed by the Leadership Team.... Jobe, Clancy and Ollie running with Junior School children, encouraging and supporting them. Summer and Zoe running the track hand in hand... Finn cheering for Wyatt... the roar that went u...

Kaya Parents, Sorry to bust in on your weekend... I would like your support with our Sugar Overload project. Please assist your child with going through some pantry items or take them along to Coles on your next shop, so they can read the nutritional panel on packages and record the amount of sugar per 100g serve of the product.   I would like just the data collection done and ready to go by Monday morning. . . handwritten on note paper is fine, the children can tabulate on Word during class time. Full details on OneNote            That's all for now ... over and out! Anne Coltrinari

Dear Parents, I hope you had a cozy, restful weekend, maybe beside a roaring fireplace, with hot cocoa, hearty meals ... I enjoyed some much-needed family time and feel rested and replenished as we slide into the last few weeks of term. There have been some nasty coughs and colds going around so if your child is not feeling well, a rest day at home is A-okay! WINTER CARNIVAL The 2023 Winter Sports Carnival is on this Thursday at Hay Park, Bunbury. The bus leaves OLC at 8.20am sharp.... please do not be late. Looks like there will be some rain during the day, so please remind your child to pack a change of clothes, towel and waterproof jacket. Might see you out there if you are coming along to support the OLC teams. A NOTE FROM MRS HAINES The OLC Dance Concert is coming up:   WEEK 8 Friday 16 th   June, starting at 11am . The theme this year is Circus! (only year 3 – 6 students are performing in the concert). *** If your child will be away on this day,   please email ...

  Who says learning can't be fun?   You just need the right tools, engaging activities and thoughtful presentation to help children learn something new without feeling like they are being "taught." Here's what we've been up to . . .  NATIONAL SORRY DAY Friday 26 May 2023 These are important dates for us to acknowledge as we work towards harmony and inter-cultural understanding as a nation. We went down to the mia-mia with our Year 1K buddy class and special four-legged guest, Miss Jilly Duffield.                       PERSUASIVE ADVERTISING Friday 19 May 2023 We decided to beat the professional graphic designers at their own game and re-invented the packaging for our favourite chips! Zoe and Keenan explained the project and persuasive devices used, to our Year 1K buddies, who voted for which chips they would buy based on the packet design.             HASS - BUSHFIRES Thursday 25 May...
