On Friday, the 26th of July, our OLMC school and parish community came together to celebrate our feast day and to honour our grandparents on the Feast day of St Joachim and Anne, the parents of Mary and the grandparents of Jesus.
Our celebrations began with open classrooms where grandparents had the opportunity to read to their grandchildren, answer quizzes and create artworks. Perhaps it was the students who were the most excited, thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to spend time in their classrooms with their grandparents. This was followed by a beautiful Mass celebrated by Father Denis and Martinho.
Thank you to all of the grandparents who joined us for the special day. The children in our school are very lucky to have such loving grandparents, who after listening to children’s stories are wonderful cooks, great storytellers, super fantastic and energetic babysitters, love a variety of games and most of all spoil and cherish their grandchildren.

This week Year 3 had two special visitors – Rufus and Ola, two playful desert dingo pups. The children have been reading the book Wandi and this visit brought their learning to life. Students loved meeting Rufus and Ola and learning more about dingo conservation and care. The pups were full of energy and quickly won everyone over with their friendly nature, playful personalities, and plenty of enthusiastic licks! The children enjoyed interacting with the dingoes up close and were fascinated to see firsthand the unique features and behaviours they had been learning about in class. This memorable experience provided a wonderful opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of Australia's native animals while creating some very special memories with our dingo cubs along the way.

On the 29th May, OLMC students celebrated the birthday of the church with a Student-Led Liturgy. Students came together in their House Families and took part in a Gospel Reflection, outlining the importance of the Holy Spirit dwelling in those who follow and serve Him. Students enjoyed creating their own Tongue of Fire, explaining different ways of how they could help spread the word of Christ in their daily life. The session concluded with "Find Jesus", where each class searched high and low for a hiding Jesus in their learning space. Finders exchanged Jesus for a gift to share with their class; new religious books to be added to our library Catholic Corner for students to borrow.
