ST VINCENT DE PAUL CHRISTMAS HAMPER APPEAL Each year at OLC we take time to be thankful for all that we have and to assist those in need. We are asking all families in the school to give as generously as possible. This year the Year 4/5/6 student families are being asked to donate toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, hairbrushes, toothpaste, toothbrushes, lip balm, sunscreen, soap etc. If each family could give at least 2 items it would go a long way to helping those families in need. I will place a box in Year 6 for your donations, if you can please make sure that you have them in by Monday 5th December. Many thanks, Mr McSevich, Mr Danaher & Mrs Delane

Year 1P and Year 6 Buddy Mass On Wednesday the 9th of November, Year 1P and their Year 6 buddy class were lucky enough to celebrate a mass together at Our Lady of the Southern Cross church. We were very lucky that the weather held out and we enjoyed a lovely walk through MayBrook forest to get to church by 9.30am The children were extremely reverent and the Year 6 buddies helped the children make the sign of the cross as they entered the church and genuflect as they sat down. Here are some picture of our walk and time at the church with our buddies. The children had a wonderful time attending Mass with our Year 1 buddies. Many thanks to Miss Prowse and Father Ian for a lovely morning celebrating together. Mrs Delane

Good morning and welcome to Week 5, The time is flying past and the students are still working hard! Last week we had Ms Emma King and Ms Katrina Grylls come and speak with us about some of the things that the students can expect about high school. The students were very respectful and listened carefully and also got some great tips from previous students Lily Omodei and Jack Dollisson! The feedback that I received from Ms King was that she was very impressed with the students of OLC and they were very well behaved and respectful. Ms Grylls the Year 7  Co-ordinator for 2017 is looking forward to getting to know the students better. Some of the best tips included -  Be organised with your belongings and homework.  Make a schedule for completing all homework and stick to it - be honest if you have had any problems completing the assigned work. Ask for help if you are having a problem or are not sure what to do. Get used to wearing a watch - there are no bells...
