Year 6 OLC

Hi Parents, The sashes have been ordered and should arrive at school before the end of the week. The children who are receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation will be bringing a form home to be completed. This needs to be returned with $35 payment in an envelope by TUESDAY 7th August if you wish to have Hip pocket complete the sash embroidery. If the form and money are not returned by Tuesday 7th August, I will assume that you will be organising your own child's sash. If this is the case, I will send the sash home with your child. When completing the section on the Saint Name, you don't need to include the word 'SAINT'. E.g: Anthony If their are multiple Saints with the same name, you can be more specific and write where they are from. E.g: Francis of Assisi I hope this makes sense! Cheers, Mr Jones

Hi Parents, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend even though the Eagles didn’t have a win! Well done to all the Confirmation candidates and their parents that affirmed their commitment to the receiving of this special Sacrament. The year 4’s and the year 6’s will be welcoming new students tomorrow! Over the next 5 weeks, Alicia ( year 4) and Laura ( year 6) will be immersing themselves in the Australia / Dunsborough lifestyle. The girls are cousins to Gabriela and Olivia McGinley and they can’t wait to learn more about our school and way of living. It will also be a fantastic opportunity for the students to learn more about the Spanish culture.

Cheers Mr Jones Dear Parents of year 6   Students, To support the work of your school and the role you play in preparing students for confirmation, I have been invited to facilitate a confirmation retreat day for the students.

To add to the occasion, I am requesting   A PARENT, BOTH PARENTS, THE STUDENT’S SPONSOR OR ALL THREE, WRITE A BRIEF SURPRISE LETTER OF SUPPORT to their child and return it to their class teacher in a sealed envelope PRIOR to the retreat.
