Thursday Week 9

-

What a day we have had today, and a great end of Primary School.  The students of 6Mc have worked so hard this week in preparation for last night and tomorrow, so today's extravaganza was a fitting way to relax a little.    






Thank you for all the support, patience and kindness you have shown me over the past year. Thank you for your quick responses to my endless requests and willingness to help in anyway has been noted and appreciated throughout the year. I have been very blessed to have worked with your children this year.

Thank you also for many wonderful gifts and the even more wonderful cards. These are not necessary but very much appreciated. 

GRADUATION
The mass will commence tomorrow in our church at 9am, we ask that you are seated and settled 10 minutes prior to this. The students are to wear their formal summer uniform to this event.  

The timing for arrival and the mass are listed below as per Amie's email earlier in the week:

8.30am: Parents, please drive your children directly to the church.
(There is no need to go to school or check in prior). 
Parents, please wait outside until 8.50am while we finalise seating with students.

9.00am: Graduation Mass Commences
 
10.00am: Awards Ceremony at the church
 
11.00am: Parents to drive their child to school and share in a morning tea prepared by the Year 5 parents
 
12.00pm: Whole School Farewell Assembly in the hall. This will involve:
  • Performance of the Graduation Song
  • Presentation of the Graduation Certificates
  • The Student Leadership Team Speech
  • The Year 6 Teacher Address
  • The Passing of the Light 
  • Farewell to the graduates
At the church each student has a pew or is sharing a pew with another student chairs (labelled with name tags): there is not a lot of room however there is then additional seating for additional family and friends at the back of the church.

Please note that throughout the ceremony there will be a celebration of those families departing the OLC community in 2022, this is where the parents of the families who no longer have any children attending OLC after 2022 come to the front to receive a certificate. We just wanted to make you aware of this, so you aren't confused when this happens tomorrow.

I am looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow and sharing in such a momentous occasion with the 'Class of 2022'. It is going to be something special...have those tissues ready!

COLOUR RUN
Tomorrow the Colour Run will also take place at 2pm. As we have Graduation earlier that morning the students will need to bring in a change of clothes for the colour run, as they will be wearing their formal summer uniform in the morning. It may be a good idea to also have your child pack a towel and a reusable bag for any wet or coloured items at the end.
 
BOOKS
There are very few books left for your child to take home.  These will come home tomorrow with your laptops and pencil cases. 


Thanks for your ongoing support, as always

Mr Mc

  K AY A, Can you believe that there is only 15 days left in Primary School for your child? WOW! Not only that but most of these days will include end of year excursion, practice at the Church and in the hall for Graduation and lots of end of year preparations!  Year 6 End of Year Gift  A massive thank you to the three wonderful parents who came along on Wednesday in week 6 to complete the end of year 6 gift artwork. The students did a really wonderful job on their own individual paver, which together will make up the OLC Reconciliation Pathway to the Aboriginal area at the back of the school. What an amazing legacy to leave behind - so watch this space! Well done team! Graduation Practice and Year 6 Busy Bee  Graduation Practice will start down at the Church in week 7 and 8. The students are allowed to wear their sport uniform on these days. This will be a strong focus for the next few weeks.

  K AY A, We hope you enjoyed a little peace and quiet last week, whilst your child was having the time of their life at camp. Hopefully it didn't take them too long to recover from the epic adventure that it was. Luckily we had that perfectly timed long weekend as a chance to recharge for the remainder of the term. Camp 2023: There is no doubt your child was bursting at the seams to share their amazing tales and stories from camp, well after a bit of sleep...that is😊. We had the best time and the students made you guys very proud. They showed resilience and bravery in all activities, as well as kindness and respect to everyone around them. They were their teams' greatest cheer leaders, offering such wonderful support to each other. 💛 They completed any task that was asked of them with efficiency and no fuss. In the coming weeks 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
