Good afternoon parents, This morning we were lucky enough to have Dr Felicity Bradshaw from the Dunsborough Vet Clinic and Mrs Sasha Boundy a local Wildlife carer come in to talk to us about the critically endangered Western Ringtail Possum. This was a fantastic initiative facilitated by Sophie Scanlon in which the ladies saw an opportunity to speak to the students about the features of the possums found in the area, what they eat, some of the dangers they face and most importantly how we can help. The students had a fantastic time learning all about the possums...there was a sneaky visitor around the place...his name was Boris but he was a little shy! One of the main points of interest was how we could protect them. Some of the ideas included: being involved in local tree planting sessions - there is one being held on Sunday 3rd November from 10.30am - 12pm in the Windlemere Reserve. If you would like to come along and help out, please contact Danae Plowm

Good afternoon parents, Welcome to another week of learning in 3D. I enjoyed a fantastic weekend at Donnelly River for Family Camp 2018...we were so blessed with the weather. It only rained a little early in the morning and at night which is quite a contrast to the weather that you had on Saturday! This is one of the friendly locals who joined me on the porch...after my daughter had accidentally spilt half of a 5kg bag of birdseed all over it! The view from my balcony...a perfect spot to have a cuppa and watch the kids ride around and around and around! If you haven't had a chance to attend yet, I highly recommend it. This is a fantastic experience for the families of OLC and a very special tradition...the washing and scrapes and bumps I can do without but a wonderful weekend! REMINDERS - WEEK 2 Hats - Please make sure your child is bringing their hat each day! SAFE Colouring Competition - Submissions for this is due on Monday 22nd October. If your child would lik

Good morning parents, Welcome back for our final term...I hope that you had a chance to enjoy a slower pace over the last couple of weeks. I enjoyed not making lunches and ironing uniforms for sure! It has to be said that the highlight of the holidays was watching the AFL Grand Final...it was a cracker game and watching the Eagles come back to win in the last minutes was awesome! I am sure the whole town heard me yelling!!! In our PD session yesterday, as a staff we spent the day examining our knowledge and ideas about Mary. It was a very interesting day and I learnt a lot about Mary as a person and as Jesus' mother. I identify with her as a role model as a mother and as a woman. She was strong and capable and lived through some very difficult times - including the loss of her child.                                                   Mrs Ricciardone and I spent the afternoon working on a display that will help to share some of this information about Mary as well as s
