Week 8 Term 4

Dear 3Mc Parents,

I hope you had an enjoyable weekend, soaking up the wonderful sunshine!  I know I did!!  Can you believe that there are less than two weeks to go? 

We are still madly working through our term programs and will be for the next week or so.  Students have projects to complete and I am still giving them an opportunity to show what they can do.  I have however eased off on homework a little.

Just a few reminders this week;


Vinnies’s Appeal:
Each year at OLC we take time to be thankful for our blessings and to assist those in need by contributing to Christmas Hampers distributed by the St. Vincent De Paul Society. This year families are invited to contribute specified items including non-perishable foods such as: Tinned foods, pasta, rice, biscuits, crackers, sauces, jams and condiments.

Christmas Concert
The Christmas Concert is taking place next Tuesday 7th December. It commences at 6pm, so please ensure that your child is here at 5:40pm. Your child will be  required to attend their classroom by 5:40pm and will walk down as a class, while you can find a nice spot on the hill. 

The theme for the end of year concert dress is ‘Casual Christmas Wear’. Christmas colours, t-shirts, dresses etc and Christmas accessories are all perfect for the occasion. 

The Season of Advent:

We celebrated the beginning of the season of Advent yesterday and we have started learning about this special time in class.

Advent is a period of spiritual preparation in which many Christians make themselves ready for the coming, or birth of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Celebrating Advent typically involves a season of prayer, fasting, and repentance, followed by anticipation, hope, and joy.


We celebrate Advent not only by thanking God for Christ's first coming to Earth as a baby, but also for his presence among us today through the Holy Spirit, and in preparation and anticipation of his final coming at the end of the age.

Character Strengths:
Dear Parents, currently at OLC we are focusing on modeling and observing different character strengths. The strengths that we will focus on are taken directly from the VIA Institute for Character. If you wanted to learn more about this please follow the link to the 24 character strengths: https://www.viacharacter.org/character-strengths
This upcoming week we are looking for people who show Self-Regulation. Can you encourage your child to reflect on the following?

Thanks for your ongoing support 

Mr Mc
