Week 1 - Term 4 Has Begun!

Good afternoon,

 I hope that you all enjoyed a relaxing break!

 Religious Education and Health -  
The next Religious Education unit begins by exploring the Catholic understanding of sexuality. It focuses in particular upon the special way husband and wives express their sexuality in the Sacrament of Marriage.

The unit introduces to the children ways in which Jesus always expresses love and goodness through his body. It then presents how he makes his followers ‘new creatures’ through Baptism so that they can do the same. The Rite of Baptism and symbols used during the Baptismal ceremony will also be explored.

Finally, the unit explores ways in which the two Great Commandments help people understand how to express love and goodness through their bodies.


In conjunction with the RE Unit of Work, during our Health classes I will be using the CEO approved “Things are Changing” programme to help the students further understand the physical and emotional changes that occur during puberty. There are work books and DVD presentations that will be used to cover the different content along with whole class and small group discussions.

Please have the permission slip signed and returned for our first session on Friday 16th October.

Family History - 

As part of our History studies this term, we will begin our learning with looking at the different groups that have migrated to Australia and their reasons why.

I will be sending home a note that asks you to fill in your family history. If you can please complete this and return it to class by Friday 16th October, I would be appreciative.

 Please find listed below the Homework for Week 1.

 Have a great 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

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.
