G’Day Parents!

A couple of cracking games of football over the weekend! It was equally great to be watching them with Wilko. He came home Last Thursday and is on a strict diet for a little while as his pancreas and digestive system repair themselves. I can tell you that 7 nights in hospital is not cheap J

Dear Parents, In this gorgeous chaos that is childhood, I just want to take the time to tell you that on a daily basis your children make my heart gleam with pride.  Led by Ollie, the children have started a charity stall, selling loom band bracelets, drawings, origami paper wallets and various other creative craft. So far they have raised over a whopping $110, all of which has been donated to charitable causes such as Timor-Leste, possum rehabilitation, Heart-kids and Project Compassion. The children also regularly collect fresh peppi leaves and grevilias from the school gardens to feed our possum friends Charli and Lola. Kiana hand-stitched a soft, snuggly pillow for the possum babies.... and I catch them countless times a day extending that same kindness and generosity to each other in the classroom.     The most transformative things in life start at its simplest. Begin simply. Start small, and watch the world begin to change, right where you live your ordinary l...

Welcome back to another week in paradise! I hope everyone managed to escape to their secret spot and enjoy the awesome run of weather we are having. I spent 3 days in the shapartment sealing the plywood walls and ceilings. It's definitely a job that I would highly recommend you all experiencing at least once in your life.  QUOTE OF THE WEEK ANZAC DAY SERVICE To those of you that came on Friday afternoon would agree at how well the students created an atmosphere that would have rivaled any Anzac commemoration. Great job 5J! WHEELIE, WALKIE, WASTE FREE WEDNESDAY If possible, please send your child to school with a waste free lunch tomorrow and each Wednesday for the rest of the term. It's a great initiative that instills sustainable behaviours in all of us. Another great way to get behind this initiative, is to walk or ride to school. If you are too far from school, walking from the church may be a way for you to partake.  INSIDE THE CLASSROOM We are continuing with our problem...

 Hi everybody! I hope you had a lovely and productive weekend and enjoyed the awesome weather that was on offer. I managed to burn down my bonfire (quite large) which has been sitting there for a while. The video below is actually from the public holiday but it has taken a couple of extra efforts to burn the remaining logs. This now allows me to start preparing for my veggie patch because the bonfire was sitting in prime position. Enjoy! QUOTE OF THE WEEK: VIRTUE: Dear Parents, currently at OLC we are focusing on modeling and observing different character strengths. This week we are looking for  people who demonstrate Fairness.
