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?

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.

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
