Term 2, Week 6

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and stayed as dry as they could. I heard the Dunsborough Phoenix had a good win on the weekend.

Eucharist Parent Workshop:
Is on this Tuesday 25th May beginning at 5.30pm in the Hall. ALL candidates that will be receiving the sacrament are expected to attend.
Please note our Commitment Mass for the Sacrament is on Saturday 12th June at 6pm at OLOTSC Church. ALL families are expected to attend as a gesture of support and it is also our Year 4 family mass.

Excursion:
We will be off on excursion to Eagle Heritage Wildlife Centre down in Margaret River on Thursday 3rd June. A permission slip with additional details will be sent home with your child tomorrow.

Character Strength of the Week:
This week are looking at the Character Strength of Bravery...we started a great activity last week in which we looked at the cross section of strengths that exist within our class and I am hoping to encourage the students to spot their classmates using their strengths when they can.

OLC Celebrates National Sorry Day – Bring a T Shirt! 
Wednesday the 26th May marks National Sorry Day and Thursday the 27th marks the beginning of National Reconciliation Week. These are important dates for us to acknowledge as we work toward harmony and intercultural understanding as a nation.The theme for Reconciliation week this year is: More than a word … Reconciliation takes action. Considering this theme, we are planning on conducting a whole school event involving all OLC students, and parents are asked dress their child with either a black, red or yellow T shirt (any shade or hue is fine) and black sports shorts on the day of Wednesday 26th May. This might not mean buying a T-Shirt – school sports shirts for Meelup and Leeuwin could be worn, or any T’s you already have at home which are predominantly one of these colours will be fine. Stay tuned to our Social Media platforms during Reconciliation Week to see the fruits of out labours!

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.
