Good evening parents,
My apologies for the delayed blog post. As you might have known, Mrs. King, Mrs. Leahy and myself were all on PD days on Tuesday and Wednesday this week...and as it was a video conference in AEST, we were lucky enough to have our day start at 6:30 am on these days so I do apologise if I seemed a little tired this week! We are very excited to have learnt about the Initial-Lit program which will be a great addition to our English programs starting next year...watch this space!
I hope you all had a lovely Father's Day and enjoyed the pinch pots that the children made...they were absolutely chuffed with their art come present for their Dads!
Just a few messages for this week...
Shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child
Thank you to all those parents who have been so organised with their gift, donation money and popcorn donations. I feel very lucky to have such organised and motivated parents! Please check the previous blog post to check what your child is bringing for this wonderful initiative as well as the information about the $2.50 to get our shoe box where it needs to go.
Homework
Just a reminder that Homework is due tomorrow so please make sure that your child brings their book so I can glue in the next (and last) homework grid. Thank you for the comments on the grid, I love seeing what they are teaching you at home!
Merit Award Winner
Congratulations to Mahli who was our week 8 Merit Award winner. You are a Year One star! ✨
Where: OLC hall (note the change of venue)
Times: Before ( 8 - 8.40 am) and after school (2.40-4 pm) on both days.
We will be open 20 minutes before school finishes each day for those parents who would like to browse without their children. We will also open from 1.10 pm – 1.30 pm on each of these days for the children to come in , browse and buy. If you are sending money to school with your child no more than $20 please.
With sustainability a high priority on our school improvement plan we have decide to limit the amount of ‘landfill’ sold, in the way of novelty items often wrapped in plastic. Posters, pencils, pens, and some erasers will still be available.
