4 Dan OLC

Good afternoon everyone, Thank you to all those people that have helped out already as well as those who have sent emails through. We are on the hunt for helpers to assist with the putting together of our Uthando Dolls. We will need assistance on Wednesday afternoons between 1:45 to 2:45pm. All volunteers will need to sign in at the front office, receive a visitors badge and then make their way down to the Year 4 area! We are looking for 4-5 parents each Wednesday to come in and help as we will assign the students in a round robin fashion. Each doll will need the following - a face, hair, underwear, clothing and bag.   Check out the link below for guidelines on how to make the dolls. Uthando Dolls - Guidelines to make. Below is a link to an editable Google Doc where you can add in your availability. I will out up a paper copy outside 4DAN if you can not access this document. Alternatively email what dates you are available for and I will put your name on the roster. Uthando Do...

Eucharist Commitment Mass: Thank you to all the families that attended the commitment mass on Saturday. Father Francis provided us with a beautiful ceremony and the manners from the students receiving pizza afterwards was fantastic. So thank you! Meals after wheels: Tuesday 15th June - students are invited to bring their skateboards and scooters to school for a roll around after lunch on Tuesday. Please make sure they area also bringing appropriate safety equipment. All items are to be placed near Mr Lee's office. Tree Planting : We are off tomorrow!

The weather is looking a little shaky so please make sure that y...

Welcome to week 4 everyone! I hope that all the Mother’s in the class were spoilt yesterday!! You all work so hard, so I hope you’re getting the love you deserve. Absentees: Could you please fill in an absentee form either online or handwritten your child is absent? It is legal requirement that I have to ‘resolve absences’ when a student is away. If they are filled in online or handwritten it is a lot easier then chasing up everyone at the end of the semester.   Wheels after Meals: This will be held tomorrow (Tuesday 11th of May). Children are encouraged to bring along their roller blades, skateboards or scooters (no bikes) and the appropriate protective gear. Please be aware that if they do not have their helmet, they will not be able to participate in this wonderful initiative.    Book Fair for 2021: The lovely Mrs. Kemp is holding the annual Scholastic Book fair for 2021 in our school Library on Tuesday and Wednesday of Week 5 (18th and 19th of May). We hope to sell a ...

Good afternoon everyone,  Welcome to week 3!  What a tragic day yesterday was! Not only did I forget to do my SuperCoach trades and Rob Blechynden’s average team beat mine. But the Shockers had a shocking second half and lost to the Eagles.  Anyway, lucky there is more to life then football……………apparently  Before School Activities: We are so lucky to have such fantastic, giving specialist teachers at OLC.  At the moment your children have the opportunity to join in: Choir - Tuesday mornings with Mrs Sherborne at 8am in the Library. Running Club - Wednesday mornings with Mrs Sinclair at 8am on the oval. Students are to bring sneakers. Dance Club - Friday mornings at 8am with Mrs Haines in the Hall! Community Support: Dear OLC Community, As you know one of our family's recently suffered the unexpected loss of their husband and father in February this year. Dave Clift was husband to Annmarie and dad to Violet in Year 5H, and to former ...

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...
