-

 Hello everyone!

Two weeks to go! I can't believe we're about to enter the festive season for 2022! Time really does fly...


IMPORTANT REMINDERS

7th December: Christmas Concert

8th December: CLEANING DAY (sports uniform) / End of year reward - Movie Day

9th December: Final Day / Year Six Graduation / Farewell Assembly / Colour Run 


ART WEDNESDAY

We have two art projects happening on Wednesday. The first will be run through our OLC 'artist in residence' initiative. Rebecca Cool will be working with the students to create some Christmas Cards. 

The second project, 'Portraits on Perspex', is being delivered by the talented Mrs Hall who has kindly
donated her time and skills to work with the kids.

A huge thank you to Rob for cutting the sheets into 60 A3 sized pieces for the project.

I'm looking forward to seeing the end pieces of both projects.

COULD YOU PLEASE SEND AN ART SHIRT OF SOME DESCRIPTION IN WITH YOUR CHILD ON WEDNESDAY


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. We have a collection box in 5J and you are invited to contribute specified items. Please give generously to support others in what can be a difficult time of the year. Thank you to those that have already placed a donation in the box. 



Congratulations to Elsie Marsland, Xavier Hayhow and Ruby Wardrope for being awarded a Merit Award over the last couple of weeks. A big shout out to Noah Haynes for being presented with a Star Citizen for Excellence in Week 5. Well done legends!!



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.
