Operation Shoebox Appeal - Digital Copy

Good morning,

Please see below a digital copy of the note that will be sent home with your child today.

Thank you for your support,

23rd August 2016

Dear Parents,

It is the time of year when we ask for the  support of the OLC community to help children in need by providing items that can be packaged in shoeboxes and sent to those in need.

The shoeboxes our school helps to send may be the only gift that the child receives all year and they are very gratefully received!

This year we will have a combined effort between the Year 4, 5 and 6 classrooms to donate items that can be used to package the boxes.

In Year 6 all students will provide 2 items for the shoebox and $2.50 to pay for the postage of the boxes.

Students will need to bring in a hygiene item and a special token item. Some examples are listed below.

PERSONAL HYGIENE Soap and face washer, toothbrush, hairbrush, comb, hair-clips, scrunchies, etc. (No toothpaste).

SOMETHING SPECIAL Carry bag, sunglasses, bangles, necklaces, craft kits, stickers, note pad etc.

Your child will be given the age of the student to bring in appropriate items for. Boys will buy for boys and girls will buy for girls.

These items will be centrally collected and then we will pack the shoeboxes once all items are in.

Please make sure that you have brought your items and money in by Monday 12th September.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kindest regards,



Caitlin 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.
