Welcome to another week in paradise!

I hope everyone had a great weekend (in isolation or not!).



QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

1. National Sorry Day - Thursday

2. Band and Friends busking (8am) - Friday, Entrance of school

3. Biggest Morning Tea for Cancer- Friday (bring some coins)

4. Free Dress for Leeuwin - Friday




NAPLAN:

Well done to all of the students for completing their tests over the past 2 weeks. If your child missed any of the NAPLAN assessments, some catch up sessions have been organised by Mr Torrese this week. 


BIGGEST MORNING TEA:

This Friday OLC will be hosting a morning tea for cancer. It will be held at 10:30am and students are asked to bring $1-$2 coins to purchase yummy treats. Donation tins will be circulating for those who wins to give more. 

Students from Year 3-6 are asked to bring a plate of food. 


St Vincent De Paul 

Hi everyone, you have probably heard about the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal.  This is a program that helps people that are less fortunate than us going into winter to stay warm. We are collecting any warm clothes and blankets that you are not using. There will be a box at the front office you can put your items by the 23rd of May. Any questions go to Xavier Armstrong in 6H.


Wheels After Meals (WAM)

Our next “Wheels After Meals” is at lunchtime on Tuesday 24 May. All students from years 1-6 are most welcome to bring along their scooter, skateboard, roller-skates, helmet and protective gear. All equipment can be left on the car park side of Mr Lee’s office before school and collected at the end of the day. At lunchtime we close the gates to the top car park and the students ride in a clockwise direction after eating their lunch.




Congratulations to Lily-Eve Blechynden, Oscar Todd and Jackson Gatty for receiving Merit Awards over the last few weeks!






Enjoy the rest of the week!

Until next time,







Mr Jones

Both Miss Lombardi and myself have reflected on the process and some key points to come out of our meetings is to provide you guys with some strategies to best support your child's learning at home. READING: As all children should be reading for a minimum of 20 minutes each day, hopefully a time could be set aside each week to engage with their reading.
