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.

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.
