Week 7 Update!

Good morning,

Welcome to Week 7!

After a big post last week sharing lots of our great learning, I will keep it nice and simple this week.

Congratulations to Saskia Louw for taking our award this winner, it was a pleasure to award this one as Saskia has been working super hard and showing such a positive attitude...tough to do with only a few weeks left!

A Couple of Reminders...

Saint Vincent De Paul Collection - Each year at OLC we take time to be thankful for our blessings and to assist those local people in need by contributing to Christmas Hampers distributed by the St Vincent De Paul Society to families within our community.

Families in Years 4-6 are being asked to contribute items in the Christmas Goodies range! 

These might include - treat items, boxes of chocolates, tinned fruit, non-perishable fruit juices, nuts, small gifts, pampering items, vouchers (Kmart, coffee, family activities etc.) or anything else that you as a family would love to receive during these tough times!

I will place a collection box in class for your items, I realise this is an expensive time for many families so any donation is gratefully received!

Thank you to those families that have already made a donation!

Walkie Wheelie Week - A reminder to make sure that you are walking or wheeling to school as many days as you can this week, the warmer weather coming will help make it more enjoyable!

The class with the highest number of walkers or wheelers will win a session with the Fremantle Dockers in Week 8...it'd be great if it was us!

Red Wednesday - The Bishop has asked for schools to recognise and pray for people of all faiths who are persecuted for their beliefs. The students can wear something red on Wednesday.

 This may be a ribbon, wrist band, Leeuwin sports shirt or another red t-shirt with their sports uniform.

General Behaviour - With only 15 school days remaining before 4DEL 2022 is no longer, it is important that we focus on making the most of the time we have left together, enjoying each other's company. 

We will keep working right up to the very end, so please support your child in making sure they are bringing their laptops to school charged for the day, their best manners and a positive and respectful attitude. 

We have had some minor instances in the past week where some class members haven't been making the best choices in their words and actions. 

Perhaps a check in to see how your child is doing and if they are noticing anything or feeling that they are being drawn into words and actions that they might not normally?

Additionally, if your child is having any problems, please do let me know and encourage them to reach out to have a chat.

We want to finish the year strong with care and respect being shown to all.

Enjoy the warmer weather, it is here at last! I hope it sticks around longer than a few days...!

Have a great week!

Mrs Delane

Week 9...The Last One!

Good afternoon parents, Welcome to the final week, if you are like me, I can remember October and then suddenly the term is at its end!  It has been a busy one here, I was lucky enough to head to the Player's night on Thursday down at Shark Park and then was also able to head to the Volunteers Breakfast on Sunday...had the best chat with Bob Murphy, he is one funny cat!  What a great opportunity for our town to have the players in, they were so appreciative of the opportunity to come and connect with their fans and were a pleasure to be around! I would like to say the biggest and most sincere thank you to you as a parent group, you have been so supportive of myself and your children and we have had a thoroughly brilliant year as a group!  To see how much the children have grown and changed is such a privilege and I am going to miss them all very very much. I wish you and your families, a enjoyable and restful break, I am sure we will see each other on the beach or around town betwe

Week 6 Has Arrived!

Good morning parents! I hope you are all staying nice and warm in this very strange weather...I have no idea what is going on with it! One minute it's warm and sunny and the next I'm reaching for the trackies and ugg boots!  I hope you all enjoyed the day off yesterday?! We had a great PL day yesterday looking in more detail at the Judging Standards created by the School Curriculum Authority. These are the documents that we use in conjunction with our professional judgement, your child's See Saw journal and work completed in class to determine grading for our reports.  We then finished the day throwing some rocks at the Dunsborough Country Club...under Neil's watchful gaze, I proved to be not a very good lawn bowler and a person who has no concept of medium pace...who knew??  We also farewelled Miss Cain on Thursday, the students were very sad to see her go and she was so sad to leave them...she had a warm and positive impact on the students in her time in 4DEL and we w

Week 8 Update

Image
Good afternoon parents, Welcome to the end of Week 7, it was a busy one for us in 4DEL as we finalised some assessments and enjoyed a smooth week of learning. I unfortunately ended up leaving early yesterday as I seem to have picked up this virus going around...thankfully it isn't Covid and I am hoping a day on the couch today will help send it packing! My daughter Ella, is competing in the State Championships in Basketball up in Perth and I'm a bit devo I can't be there...something I am working hard on is accepting the things that I cannot change, this appears to be one of them. I hope you are all well, I have had a few students share with me some things going on with sickness and things just being a bit tough...if there is any way that I can help, please do let me know! We have a pastoral care freezer for just these things! Congratulations to Emme on receiving our Merit Award last week, an absolute legend who just keeps on keeping on! A few reminders for the coming week..
