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

Go od afternoon parents, Mrs Horrocks has asked for me to post some information about the upcoming Musical 'Go Fish' on Friday 8th June (Week 6) this term.  If you have any questions about the performance, including costumes or the logistics of the musical then Mrs Horrocks is the person to ask! We will be having a short meeting on Monday 7th May at 3.15pm. It would be great if you could make it!  If you are unable to make the meeting, but are keen to help...please let me know.  More importantly she is looking for volunteers who can donate some of their time to assist with costumes, the set and other roles.  If this is something you can assist with, then please contact or see Mrs Horrocks on that Monday. Thanks again for your ongoing support. Times Tables Quiz - Today in class I did a short quiz to check their knowledge of all their tables. As I mentioned in my blog post on Monday students in Year 3 are only expected to know their 2's, 3's,...

Week 5 Update - Hump Week!

Good afternoon parents, For those looking for an embarrassing or dramatic story this week, I am sorry to disappoint!  This weekend has been all about a bit of family time and for me, catching up on a the last two Matthew Reilly novels...knocked those out yesterday so hit me up if you have any recommendations!  I also finished the Will Smith autobiography this week if anyone is looking for a really great read! It has been an interesting week trying to process what is happening here in WA as well as what is happening overseas...I can't even imagine what it must be like for families just like us to be gripped by war.  Like many parents, I am struggling  to explain it to my own children who have some grasp of what is happening but also a child like fear as well...I just don't know what to say? With this in mind, you may have seen on Facebook that as a school community, we are offering families the opportunity to attend a prayer vigil on Wednesday afternoon...
