CONFIRMATION AND CAMP INFORMATION


Hi Parents,

Below is some very useful and important information for Confirmation and the Year Six Camp. Please ensure that you read all the information and send me an email if you require any clarification.

CONFIRMATION SASH:
If you would like to get the Confirmation embroidery professionally done by HipPocket, the cost will be $35. A form will be sent home to all the candidates that will need to be completed and returned (with the sash) to me before Friday 20th September.

CANDIDATE AND PRAYER BUDDY LETTER
This year, we are combining the Year Six Camp and the Confirmation Retreat. This means, that we are combining a couple of Confirmation rotations into our night time activities. One of these activities requires:

ALL PARENTS TO WRITE A HEARTFELT LETTER TO THEIR CHILD (CANDIDATE OR PRAYER BUDDY).

The letter will express how proud you are of your child as they take the next step in their faith journey. Prayer buddy parents might like to include how proud you are that they are supporting their peers during this time. Both parents might like to include any thoughts or advice you might have as they transition into high school etc.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT ALL STUDENTS RECEIVE A LETTER ON CAMP, AS IT CAN BE VERY DISHEARTENING, NOT ONLY FOR THE CHILD BUT ALSO FOR THE ADULT THAT HAS TO TRY TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY DID NOT RECEIVE A LETTER.
PLEASE DELIVER THIS LETTER (CLEARLY MARKED) IN A SEALED ENVELOPE BY THE END OF THE TERM.

CAMP:
The Year Six Camp will take place in the first week of Term 4 (Tuesday 15th October – Friday 18th October).  This year, we are heading to Ern Halliday in Hillarys.

NO IPADS, PHONES or CAMERAS ARE PERMITTED ON CAMP.

Your child will bring home a medical form and a permission slip for you to fill out and return to me ASAP before the end of the term.

An itinerary for the camp will be uploaded to your child’s OneNote account for you to peruse with your child.

Please read through and check off your child’s essential items required for camp (One Note).

Kind regards,

Mr Jones

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

Hi Parents, The note below is being sent home today. Please cut and fill in the permission slip and return to me by Monday 26th March. The Inter School Swimming Team will receive theirs tomorrow. 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 ...

REMINDERS - WEEK 3 Confirmation Home Mass - This is on next Monday 30th October and is being hosted by the Tutt family. We will begin promptly at 6pm, we ask that you arrive by 5.45pm to smooth the logistics of food and drinks etc. I am sure that Sherylee will appreciate food being pre-warmed if possible and any extra hands!

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.
