Kaya Team 5J,

I hope you all had a great Easter break, especially with the perfect run of weather over the last week. I spent some time with the in laws over the first weekend and been local for the rest of the holidays, enjoying my time surfing, gardening and getting my compost pile to 65 degrees, which is almost getting too hot! Great to be back for Term Two.

Leadership Teams 2024 Please take the time to go through the different roles below and have a discussion with your child about what would be a great fit for them.  We will begin to create a one page CV tomorrow. This will include some background information such as their name, birthday, faction, years at OLC, special achievements / milestones (First Holy Communion) as well as their 3 top preferences. With each preference, your child might like to write a sentence as to why they are interested or would be a great fit to that particular team. Please note that next year there will be a mid-year swap of teams so that each child will be apart of two teams over the year. Your child may also like to have an appropriate photo of themselves to insert into the CV to jazz it up.     Team: Spirit Spies and Wellbeing   Staff: Mrs. Meyer, Mrs Delane & Fr.
