Term 2, Week 3

-

 Kaya Team 5J,


I hope you all had a great weekend out and about. I spent most of my
time in the garden in between watching the Eagles drum up another loss and the Dockers finally getting a win on the board. Happy Mother's Day for Sunday! Hopefully, you are showered with love and peace and quiet!



QUOTE OF THE WEEK

THE ROSARY

In the Catholic Church the month of May is Mary's month. It's the month we honor Blessed Mary as the Mother of Jesus and our Heavenly Mother.

We are very fortunate in Year 5 because we will have some very special guests from the Parish visiting us every Monday for the month of May. Mrs DeGaris and Ms Rooney will teach us about praying the rosary.

Rosary beads will be provided, but the children are more than welcome to bring in their own to use.



A Note from Mrs Haines regarding Dance for Term 2:

DANCE CONCERT- FRIDAY, 16TH JUNE WEEK 8 STARTING TIME: 11AM
Hello Families, if you are planning to be away at all this Term and/or away for the Dance Concert, can you please email me, ellie.haines@cewa.edu.au so I can plan accordingly. I only get to see your children for 1 hour a week and have had a lot of students telling me that they will be away this term/for the concert etc but need confirmation from parents please. Thank you- Mrs Haines


CHARACTER STRENGTHS

Parents, this week we are looking at developing the character strength of Judgement. 
St Alphonsus left his career as a lawyer to follow God. St Alphonsus was a practical person, who dealt with the concrete and not the abstract.
• Do you think things through?
• Are you open-minded and think about all sides of a situation?

YEAR 5/6 LEADERSHIP DAY


Our Year 5 and 6 students will be very fortunate to attend a special Leadership day in the hall on Monday the 22nd of May. The wonderful Mrs Meyer has arranged for the students to have an inspirational speaker for the day. This event has been supported by the P&F. This will be a whole day presentation and the students will be required to wear their sports uniform please. This is a wonderful privilege for our students and will hopefully aid in the students becoming the best leaders they can be.




Congratulations to Adele Sorgiovanni for receiving the most recent Star Citizen Award for compassion and to Archie Lafranchi for getting a Merit Award last week. Well done legends!!






Enjoy the rest of the week!

Until next time,







Mr Jones

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.
