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 has been a very trying time and its important to show care and stay safe. It’s been wonderful to have Team meetings with those at home and to see the great work they have been doing.   This Blog will have information regarding Online Learning. It will explain how I want Teams and OneNote to work as well as how to access the videos I have created. There will also be a Do’s and Don’ts section at the end of this Blog. Teams: After one week of using Teams as an Online Learning tool, I have made some adjustments into how I would like Teams to be used. Firstly, I don’t want to see any work submitted on Teams, I would like all work to be submitted on OneNote. My current vision is for Teams to be used for 3 things. The first is to be a place to access the work that is required. This can be done through t...
