Congratulations to all the students who participated in last week’s Cross Country Running Races.  There were great growth mindsets, smiles and everyone’s top efforts on display. Congratulations to Mila for setting an incredible pace to come first place in the Year 5 girl’s race.  5J students took out all the other places in both the boys and girl's race!

The children did not get to swap their library books on Friday so we will be visiting the school library tomorrow (Monday). Please remind your child to pack their books for return in their book bag if they would like to swap.

 PARISH MASS

This Wednesday, the 23rd of June the Year Five cohort will be walking to Our Lady of the Southern Cross to share a parish mass with Father Francis at 9:30 am (weather dependent). Parents are most welcome to join us.

Please ensure your child is on time for our 8:40 am first bell, as we will be starting our walk down to the church shortly after.

 FOCUS CHARACTER STRENGTH

Currently at OLC we are focusing on modelling and observing different character strengths. This week we are looking for people who demonstrate Forgiveness. Can you encourage your child to develop this trait?

  

HOMEWORK

Your child has a homework grid this week.  Please encourage them to set aside a little time each night to complete their activities and sign the grid to show its completion on Thursday night, ready to hand in on Friday morning.

Special activities to note this week include sharing their digital journals with you and spending time working on their S.T.E.M. project for Mr Torrese.

Term 4, Week 8

Week 8, Term 4 Wow, can you believe we are here already? The children are doing such an incredible job of finishing off some great work from the term, creating beautiful Christmas pieces for our residents at the retirement village and getting their “Creative” on with their portraits in Art. Just a few reminders for the last couple of weeks. Advent We are currently celebrating and learning about the period of Advent. Advent is a period of spiritual preparation in which many Christians make themselves ready for the coming, or birth of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Celebrating Advent typically involves a season of prayer, fasting, and repentance, followed by anticipation, hope, and joy. We celebrate Advent not only by thanking God for Christ's first coming to Earth as a baby, but also for his presence among us today through the Holy Spirit, and in preparation and anticipation of his final coming at the end of the age.

  The following recount was written collaboratively by Paige, Georgia, Flynn,  Tieg, Justin, Jasper, Jeremy, Joe, Mahley and Noah. It is Part One of our Cape Naturaliste Experience!!   On Monday the 16 th of November we went to the historical Cape Naturalise National Park.  We travelled by bus and it took 11 minutes to get to this magnificent location!       First of all, we met Josh Whiteland, who is a Wardandi Custodian of the local region.  Wardandi means “forest people by the sea.” He calls the land "country".  Aboriginal people see “country” as being like a mother.  It gives to them what they need and protects them.  Respect of country is the backbone of Noongar people. Josh learned all of his knowledge from Aboriginal elders in our region.  He encouraged us to make a “connection to country” where we can become “cultural custodians” thus developing our own identity and sense of belonging to the place in which we live.   Josh led us on a brilliant bushwalk (approx
