Term 4, Week 5

Hello everyone 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. I played my first game of cricket for the season which I am quite sore from today, but we got the win so that’s the most important part.

Assembly:
I just wanted to say how awesome the kids were on Friday for our Year 4 assembly. The message was great, and they all performed brilliantly.

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.

Remembrance Day:
On Thursday 11 November at 11am we will hold a special ceremony, led by Mr Jones’ Year 5 class to remember all those who have died in war. We pray that we keep alive the memories of those who laid down their life for the sacred cause of freedom. Parents are most welcome to attend the assembly.

Free Dress Day – Leeuwin:
As winners of the first half of the term's token tally, Leeuwin will be able to free dress on Wednesday this week...Great job guys.

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 Preservance. Can you encourage your child to reflect on the following?

Welcome to week 9. The first thing that I would like to say is a massive thank you to everyone for all the support that I have received in the last couple of weeks. 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...
