5J OLC

Good evening OLC! I hope you had an enjoyable weekend and managed to get out to experience the extra large surf that was on offer. We really do live in such an amazing place! QUOTE OF THE WEEK PRAYERS Please keep the Clift family in your thoughts after their devastating loss towards the end of last week. I am aware that a Year 5 group has already been assembled to help out in any way that they can. Make sure that you get in contact with the group to help out where you can. It's great to see the OLC community banding together during this time of need.   SWIMMING TRIALS On Tuesday, the 23rd of February, Years 4, 5 & 6 will be departing school at 9am to travel to the Geographe Leisure Centre (Busselton) for the swimming carnival time trials.

 Hi everybody and welcome to the new school year! Below is some handy information that will get you, your child and myself through the first week jitters. Due to ongoing restrictions and general COVID awareness, you are welcome to walk your child to the door where we will be waiting to greet you and your child on the first day. Please try and arrive at school by 8:30am. BOOK ORDERS   If you can please make sure that you have  unpacked  and labelled all items as necessary. EXERCISE BOOKS If you didn't purchase the exercise books stated on the booklist, can I recommend purchasing book covers for your child's books. Below is an example of what you might find at K Mart or Officeworks. These covers or something similar will significantly extend the shelf life of your child's exercise books. It would be great if all exercise books are covered by the beginning of Week 2. Any spare exercise books are to be clearly labelled with your child’s name. Please do not worry about fi...

 Hi everyone, I had envisioned this blog being sent out last week but due to some internet problems, I wasn't able to upload some photos and videos from the excursion. The problem has been fixed now so here we go.  Only a couple of weeks left of what seems to be a year that has flown by so quickly. I don't quite know where the year has gone, but I am sure that everyone is looking forward to spending the holidays with loved ones and seeing 2020 out on a high!  IMPORTANT REMINDERS: Year Six Graduation - Friday 4th December International Day of Disabilities - Thursday 3rd December End of Year Christmas Concert - Tuesday 8th December (Further details to come) Colour Run/Last Day of Term 4 - Friday 11th December.
