Good Evening All, It is with great sadness I say that this will be my final blog post for the year. I can not describe how incredibly proud of students and the leaders this group has become. They have worked hard, played hard and lead hard...what more could I have asked for! Thank you for the amazing support and care you have shown me throughout the year. The constant check-ins, the quick response to my endless requests and willingness to help in anyway has been both noted and appreciated throughout the year. Many thanks to our parent reps for making my job easy and communicating anything that needed to be done, I am so grateful. Whilst I don't think I deserve it, I am touched to have received a very generous voucher to Blue Manna from the class and a number of thoughtful gifts from other families. I am a softie when it comes to beautiful handwritten messages and it's the heartfelt cards that are playing on my emotional heartstrings, making me a blubbering mess (I don't thi

K A Y A , It is incredibly hard to believe that this is the final week of Primary School for your children. I think I am in denial, I sit back and reflect on the year and can't believe we have reached this point already! Whilst I am sad to be saying goodbye this week, I know the students are grateful for what they have had at OLC and are ready with excitement to move on. Sorry this blog is not so exciting, it covers a bit of housekeeping for the busy week ahead. WEEK 9 INFORMATION! GRADUATION The mass will commence this Friday 10th December in our hall at 9am . It is expected to run for approximately 1hour and 30mins, with a morning tea outside the hall to follow. The students are to wear their formal summer uniform to this event.  Can you please ensure you arrive 15 mins before the start , so you can find your seat and settle. There are only  2 allocated seats next to your child for parents to sit and then   limited extra seating at the back for extended family and friends. Plea

  K a y a, My goodness, the end is in sight, only two weeks left with our little 6R family. I am full of mixed emotions, sadness that they will be leaving but happiness and excitement for our excursion and graduation.  I would like to take this opportunity to send you all a massive thank you for your support this year. Thank you for your kind emails, patience and laughs over the year. Well done to the students on their mature attitude and effort at the Parish Busy Bee on Friday despite the heat. The students put in a mammoth effort and demonstrated the OLC school values throughout the very hot day. The church looked wonderful when we left.                                            As there a lot of reminders below I have not included much other information. Thanks guys for your patience and understanding over the last two weeks. We will have a very busy two weeks ahead with lots of practice and preparation for both the Christmas concert and the Graduation so lots of rest ahead for the

KAYA, I have just realised that we are now super close to the finish line and it's that time of year where no matter how hard I try to slow everything down it is just not going to happen! With reports on the go, seesaw tasks being prepared, graduation around the corner and our final excursion less than 3 weeks away, I feel that I am going to be constantly running...so apologies if I do miss something along the way (especially with preggo brain ATM too). Please let me know if I do, and I'll get on top of it straight away! ⭐⭐ STAR CITIZEN ⭐⭐ Well done to Madi who received our Star Citizen award this week for the value of 'Excellence'.

  K a y a, What an incredibly beautiful weekend...the weather was nothing to complain about. I hope that whatever you did has given you the chance to live, laugh, rest and recoup. We spent the weekend in Fremantle on a little getaway with wonderful friends, sampling the many delights of the areas! Can you believe that we are heading into week 6 already. I am so proud of the mature attitude that the students have started to show towards their learning specifically looking at the amount of tests they have had over the past few weeks. You should be very proud of their effort and input, no matter the grade they have all tried and worked their very best.  🏆 Did you know that Saturday was World Kindness Day? Engaging in acts of kindness produces endorphins, the brain's natural painkiller! Perpetually kind people have 23% less cortisol (the stress hormone) and age two times slower than the average population! So, we challenge you to make sure you get one act of random kindness every day
