On Thursday, 25th of July, OLMC celebrated NAIDOC week as a school community.
Julie and Josh, leaders from the Jarara Indigenous Team led the day, beginning with a smoking ceremony to cleanse our environment and promote wellbeing for semester two. Students were absolutely captivated with the ceremony, as were teachers and family members.
They then shared Indigenous culture and history with all our grades through artifacts, language, stories, movement and art. Some of the topics students explored were tools & technologies, songlines, symbolism and dreamings, The Stolen Generation, reconciliation and NAIDOC.
We would like to sincerely thank the Jarara Indigenous Team for providing our community with such a wonderful experience and look forward to working in partnership with them in the near future.

Our schools are cracking the reading code
Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, it’s surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.

Six Habits That Help Children Develop a Love of Reading
Book Week is a celebration of stories, imagination and creativity, but helping children love reading isn't just something that happens during one week of the year. The good news?

On Friday 31st July, the students of OLMC took part in a whole school Faith in Action initiative: Winter Warmies. Students came to school dressed in their snuggly warm attire, ready to learn a little bit more of the impacts of hardship & homelessness in the lives of everyday Australians. With a warm cup of Milo, sitting around Homeless David in the cold morning air, students were able to visually understand what being homeless might look like. Some of our very thoughtful & compassionate students left some of their recess near David, to enjoy when he woke up. What a beautiful sentiment to witness! Thank you to our parents and carers for your generous donation to our 2026 Vinnies Winter Appeal.
