Week 8

 Good afternoon Parents 

Welcome to week 8, an even shorter week than last week.  Hopefully you enjoyed a relaxing and fun filled long, long weekend.  

This week we are finalising our preparation for Reconciliation, with part of this being our prayer assembly this Friday (11th).  If your child will not be here, please let me know s that I can account for this in our practice and preparations.

We are also preparing for receiving the Sacrament next week and our celebration Mass next Saturday (19th).  As part of this, we are undertaking a liturgical movement for the Gospel and will be heading to the church in the next week to practice this (because practicing in the hall isn't quite the same!!).

With such a short week this week, homework this week include reading and spelling.  There won't be a mental maths strategy, but please use the flash cards sent home earlier this term to practice our times tables.

Just a few reminders this week

OLC Dance Concert - I put up a blog about the upcoming dance concert - here.  Mrs Haines also put a blog up about students that may be away on the last day of school.  If you have not already read the blog, please do so at https://danceolc.blogspot.com/.

Focus Character Strength - Dear Parents, currently at OLC we are focusing on modeling and observing different character strengths. This week we are looking for people who demonstrate Curiosity. Can you encourage your child to show the following?


Enjoy the remainder of the week.

Mr Mc

Good afternoon parents, I cannot believe that we are in the last week of Year Three for 2018... the whole year has  gone very fast and we have watched your children grow into beautiful, mature, capable and motivated students! Ihave loved working with them and have been an absolute pleasure to teach! REMINDERS - WEEK 9 Vinny's Donations -  Our tub is located in the wet area. If you can please make any small donation of toiletry items it will go a long way to helping make someone's Christmas very special. These hampers will be put together and handed over at assembly on Friday morning.

 Hello 3Mc parents and welcome to week 5! I can’t believe we are nearly half way through the term! I hope that you all had a great weekend.  Stop Motion In art this term we are learning about and creating stop motion movies.  Students have created story boards outlining what they intend filming and as such know what characters they will need.  Please support your child to remember the characters they will need to commence filming this Wednesday. Students may like to bring small figures such as lego to represent the characters of their movies. Pupil Free day: A reminder that there is a pupil free day on Friday 12 November. The staff will be creating our School Improvement Plan for 2022, work on our school Vision for learning, analyse our NAPLAN and PAT test data and school strategic plan.
