GRADUATION   It is an exciting week as our Graduation Ceremony is on Friday 1st December. Mass will begin promptly at 5.30pm. I ask that your child is there by 5.15pm at the latest so that I can make sure I have everyone. We will walk down to the church on Friday at approximately 11.45am for another practice. If you can please check in with your child to see if they have any additional information for you! Those families that will be leaving OLC for the last time will be given a certificate of thanks. Your names will be called up alphabetically, if we can ask that you come up to receive your certificate and remain up the front so that you can be acknowledge as a group. All family members are welcome to attend the mass. As you are aware, space in the pews is at a premium. I ask that the graduating student and parents are the first priority in the pew. Any additional family members can sit in the remaining pews at the back of the church. Dress is smart casual on the dressier sid

Good afternoon, Welcome to a beautiful Week 5...it is staring to feel a lot more summery with this warmer weather...hats at school are a must! REMINDERS - WEEK 5 Lions Peace Poster Winner - Congratulations to Cooper Smith on being chosen as this year's winner. It was a very close competition and I have to say that this year's entries were of the highest standard I have seen. Well done to Cooper and all of the students who completed their entries! Thank you to Ms Kaye McCormick and the Lions Club of Dunsborough for their support and generous donation! Stationery Items - A large number of students are down to the last of their glue, red and blue pens...I know that it is nearing the end of term and it can feel like a waste to top up supplies but it is difficult for the students to complete given tasks in a timely fashion when they are waiting to borrow items from others. It is also unfair on those students who are constantly lending their belongings. If I c

Design Technologies - Create a Recycled Game Activity  As part of the Design Technology curriculum this term, the students will begin planning a game that can be played with students in Years 1-3 during their sports lessons using only recycled materials. Students will need to bring in materials from home that they will use to create their game. The students will have time to plan their game with their group this afternoon, in which they will identify the purpose of the game, the rules to how it will be played and what materials and tools will be required. On Thursday 16th November, the students will play their games during the sport times for the Year 1-3 students to see how effectively their game will work. They will then need to create a presentation sharing their evaluation of their game to be presented the following week. Time for this will be given in class. If you can please assist your child with the sourcing of any free materials (raid the recycling bin or dad's

The parents of the winning entry will be notified by tomorrow afternoon to hopefully attend Assembly on Friday. I won't tell the students who won so it would be great if you could keep it hush! First Eucharist - Is on this Sunday 5th November. It would be great to see as many of the Year 6 students there to support the Year 4's as possible.

Their lesson runs from 2-3pm and it is very important that all students have their guitars.  Peace Posters - These are due in on Monday 30th October. I am so impressed with the work of many of the students in their interpretation of 'The Future of Peace'. This week the students will write a quote to go with their piece.
