Week 3 Term 4

 Good morning all,


This term just needs to slow down...before I know it I am going to be saying farewell to you all and my hormones can not deal with those emotions just yet!! What an incredible bout of weather we are having, summer is coming and doesn't it feel GOOD! It was lovely to hear the students recounts of their weekend and the fun they've had with family and friends.


At Friday's assembly we celebrated Remy for the growth and maturity that we have seen over the past couple of weeks. He is currently sharing such great knowledge and creative ideas in our novel study of 'Once'.

I am really excited to share our new display that highlights our novel study on the novel 'Once'. In both activities on the board, we attempted to describe the physical and personality traits of the protagonist character, Felix. First we used the 'Crystal Ball' tool to draw a visualisation of what we thought he would look like, using evidence we had gained from the text and assumptions we had made according to the clues given within the text. The students were very clever in applying their prior knowledge to add detail to their drawings of Felix.

In the second activity the students had to write a summary of Felix's personality traits. Here they had to connect his actions to a value or quality that they think he possesses as a result. The students have done such a great job...see their work below:








REMINDERS - WEEK 3 

MUSICAL - I can not thank you all enough for being so generous in helping make this musical happen. Over the past week, so many people have put their hands up in some way to help out, from costumes being sourced and ordered, props made or purchased, helpers on the day/night, the setting dressed. You all are amazing!!


Thank you to those who have emailed me estimate numbers of how many tickets you will require for the Friday night production. If you haven't done this as yet, can you send the numbers to me ASAP.



GRADUATION POWERPOINT- I am hoping that you can find and email me a photo of your child as a baby and/or toddler. I would like to create a PowerPoint for Graduation with these special photos, as well as others from their time at OLC. If you have any ripper photos from your child's time at OLC, I would greatly appreciate any donations. Please email them through so I can get onto this job as soon as I can.

Hello from Imogen & Tilly - Week 5 Term 2

Kaya, This blog has been expertly created by Imogen King and Tilly Hall, and I am sure you will agree that they have done a wonderful job.  Hope you all had a nice refreshing weekend with your friends and family! As the weather begins to get colder, we are reaching the end of Djeran and moving towards the wintery season of Makuru.  Good news...you’ll be starting to see less of the different types of snails ( probably eating your veggies in your garden!😂 ) and Shelducks paddling in lakes and pools of water... Interesting Fact!! If a Shelduck has a white ring around its eye, it’s a female (like the one below). CLASS FUN FACT: Did you know Sophie had a guinea pig with one ear because her chook pecked it off!!! ⭐⭐ Star Citizen Award ⭐⭐ Well done to Lexi Lepidi for receiving our 6R Star Citizen for Appreciation for Term 2. What an asset to the classroom she's become! We are always delighted by the maturity shesuses to show appreciation to those around her. You are consistently the fi

Happy Holidays!

Good morning, We hope you are enjoying the beautiful start to the holidays. Whilst our end to the term was quite intense, we hope that the weeks of home schooling weren't too stressful on you all. I was so proud at how quickly the students adapted to the new situation and then produced incredible pieces of work.  I am currently working through all the marking: Narratives, Basil Presentations and Maths tests but from what I've seen so far there are some very pleasing results. All Maths tests completed and uploaded have been marked and your child's results can be found where they saved their test in OneNote. The results for the other two tasks will be saved in OneNote under 'Assessment Results' in the coming week for your child to view. Today you will receive an email with your child's Interim Report attached. Keep an eye out for this! With both Ali and I being at home working and educating our own children, we truly appreciate the amount of time and

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
