Term 3, Week 3


Welcome to week 3 everyone,

Great weather to start the week! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, the weather of Saturday showed us just how lucky we are to live in this beautiful area.
In other news……….Go Dockers!

Merit awards:
Congratulations to Alec for receiving a merit award last week for the positive way he has started term 3. Well done!



Interschool Cross Country:
Last Thursday the OLC interschool cross country team competed in Bunbury. From all accounts it was a great day and the Year 4’s were well behaved and put everything out on the field. A massive congratulation to Kai for placing 3rd overall, excellent stuff mate and well done to everyone!


Stationery:
I have seen a lot of lead pencils that are getting quite small and are not good for the students motor skills, please make sure they have some extra pencils if they are chewing through them.

Haircuts:
Boys AND girls hair needs to be out of their face. It is fine to use bobby pins, gel etc. but please be aware that it needs to be able to stay that way for the day. Hair that falls below the collar must be tied up.

Our Learning:
Last week we wrote a whole class persuasive text on ‘Animals should not be kept in cages’. It was a great couple of lessons as we made sure to include rhetorical questions, strong arguments and high modality words.



HOMEWORK - WEEK 3 
Spelling - LCWC each night - please make sure that your child is MARKING their words each night.

Good afternoon and welcome to week 7, The DCC B Grade boys had a great win on the weekend and took home the flag! It was fantastic that the next day I was privileged to go to the Eucharist Commitment mass, which was a lovely ceremony. Eucharist Commitment Mass: Thank you to all who attended on Sunday morning. It was a beautiful ceremony and Father Ian was awesome with all the students. Eucharist Mass: Saturday 26 th March: We will be celebrating this on Saturday 26th March with mass beginning at  6:00pm . Those students that are making their First Eucharist are asked to wear white or a light coloured shirt and come dressed in their Sunday best. Due to Covid restrictions, we are asking all families to restrict their numbers to 10 family members only, including the candidate. Merit Award/Star Citizen: Congratulations to Lexi lambert and Patch O’Brien for receiving a Merit award and Star Citizen respectively. Love seeing people rewarded for the hard work. Well done guys.

Term 2, Week 2

Welcome to week 2! Massive weekend just gone! You know what I am referring to Rob Blechynden! The Dockers PUMPING the terrible Kangaroos. Robbies team didn’t go to well either. Wheelie, Walkie, Waste Free Wednesday: I f possible, please send your child to school with a waste free lunch tomorrow and each Wednesday for the rest of the term. It's a great initiative that instills sustainable behaviours in all of us. Another great way to get behind this initiative, is to walk or ride to school. If you are too far from school, walking from the church may be a way for you to partake.  Laptops: It is super important that these are coming to school with sufficient charge to last the day. Tuesday to Friday during our Reading Groups the students must have access to their laptops as all of their activities are undertaken on their laptops, not to mention the times during other lessons where they are required. Eucharist Dates : These were included on our Homework Grid last week. If your chil

Good evening everyone!! Who’s pumped?!?!? I know I am! I hope that everyone had an excellent break. I went up to Coral Bay for the first time. Can’t believe that I haven’t been there before! Such a wicked place. Taste of SMMC : Just a reminder that all Year 4 students will be heading off on Friday to experience some of the delights of SMMC. If your child has not returned their permission slip and you need another copy, please let me know and I will send one home with your child on Monday. Stationery: If you can please take a moment to remind your child to clean out their pencil cases and check if they are missing anything. Laptops: Please also remind your child to pop them on charge ready for tomorrow and we will need them everyday.  Summer Uniform : Not that it feels like it but we are back in summer uniform as of Monday. There is a two week swap over period so long pants are still welcome as the weather is still cool! Hats: Please make sure that  your child has a hat that stays in th
