Well done OLC and the Year 6 team.  6H Merit Award  Congratulations to Cooper for winning the 6H merit award last week. This was awarded to Cooper f or the effort and dedication he puts into his mathematical lessons.

K AY A, I am sure your children have shared with you all the amazing tales and stories from camp. We had the best time and the students made you guys very proud. They should continuous resilience and bravery in all activities and showed kindness to everyone around them. 💛 At the end of this week the students will have access to a folder where they can view all the pictures taken by the teachers. You can then revisit the stories and activities with your child on their laptop.  A special thank you goes to the amazing staff at Forest Edge. Also, a massive thank you goes to the sensational team of teachers that came along with us, Mrs King, Mr Danaher, Mr Jones, Mrs Meyer, Mrs Costin, Mr McSevich and Mrs Hayward. This camp would not have happened without your hard work and dedication. Lastly, the biggest thank you goes to Matt Archer for coming along as a parent helper.

K AY A, Can you believe that it is only 3 sleeps until we depart for Year 6 camp??? The students are going to have the most amazing time; we will be taking part in activities like wall climbing, zip-lining, abseiling and orienteering as well as lots of fun group activities.  Please remember we will depart OLC at 8.50 on Wednesday morning. Your student will need to arrive at normal school time (8.30am) and place their bags for camp outside the hall in front of the double doors. They will then make their way to the classroom for the class role. Students will need to ensure they have used the bathroom as the bus is a two hour drive. They will also need to take out any medical items from their bag and provide this to the teacher in a clear zip lock bag with their name on it.  Even though it is a very exciting time, we are aware that for many, it is a time for nervousness. To help with this, we are reading and studying a book about a student preparing for camp - "Michaela Mason's B...

  K AY A, And just like that, we are back! Can you believe we are at the halfway mark? I hope you had the most wonderful break with your awesome children, I cannot wait to hear their stories.  We have a busy term ahead of us with camp, OLC's Got Talent and Athletics Carnivals.  In 6H, we are also taking back the school ministry jobs for this term so we will be very busy. Your child may also have a speaking role in the weekly assemblies so watch this space!  I feel very lucky to have seen my family during the holidays and have spent some time in the very green emerald island of Ireland. You may hear a slight twang back in my accent. 😂  I look forward to sharing some stories with the students when they return.💚 6H Numbat Guest Speaker Talk  As you are probably aware from your child's fabulous writing Information Report viewed on seesaw, our class totem is the awesome Numbat.
