Confirmation - What an Amazing Week!

Good afternoon,

I just wanted to take a few moments to share with you some of the amazing experiences that we have had this past week in the lead up to Confirmation.

We shared a special Reconciliation at the Church with Fr. Ian in which we could share our feelings about Confirmation. 

Thank you again for all your support!






We enjoyed a wonderful Retreat with Mrs Sue Barton in which the children were asked to liken themselves to wind and fire, complete a crossword on the Pentecost story, challenge their knowledge of Patron Saints and create sculptures depicting the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit.










After morning tea, we shared some private moments reading our letters that our parents and loved ones had given to us. It was a wonderful experience to be a part of as the students were very touched. It was a very emotional experience.












We enjoyed a feast for morning tea and lunch! A very big thank yo to all parents for the beautiful food you sent in for us to share a massive thank you to our volunteers who came in to prepare the amazing food!




After our beautiful lunch we went down to the Church to practice for the big event on Saturday night.







On Saturday night we all came together as a family to celebrate our Confirmation. It was beautiful, everyone looked amazing and there was an amazing feeling in the Church. Thank you to everyone who came to make it so special.










Thank you to everyone who shared this week with us, we are very grateful for all that you have done!

Have a wonderful week,

Mrs Delane

A Message to My Future Self - A Huge Success

Dear Parents, I would just like to say again, thank you to all those parents that were able to come and enjoy our presentations last night. It was wonderful to have so many parents able to make it and to view the amazing work of these students. A big thank you to Alie Smith for organising the food and drinks - we couldn't have done it without you! A massive thank you to Mrs Amie Meyer for all that she has done to make this idea a reality. The success of this event has ensured that this will become an annual event at OLC and it wouldn't have been possible without Mrs Meyer's ideas and dedication to helping the students achieve. Thank you for my lovely gift and kind words, they are both appreciated. Have a wonderful day, Mrs Delane

Cheers! Mr Jones 22 nd March, 2018 Dear Parents, RE: Chrism Mass – Tuesday 27 th March We will be travelling to Bunbury on Tuesday 27 th March to participate in the Chrism Mass that is held at the Bunbury Cathedral. Mass will begin at 11am and will conclude at approximately 12.15pm. A short tour of the Cathedral will follow. The purpose of this Mass is to consecrate the Oil of Chrism that is used during the Sacrament of Confirmation and bless the Oil of the Sick used for the Anointing of the Sick. The sign of Confirmation is the Oil of Chrism, the most sacred of the oils. During the Confirmation ceremony, a person is anointed on the forehead with Chrism. As the oil is absorbed by the body, it is a sign of how the confirmed person is filled with the ...

Their lesson runs from 2-3pm and it is very important that all students have their guitars.  Peace Posters - These are due in on Monday 30th October.
