On Monday the 19th of August we celebrated Book Week, and what a celebration it was!
In the morning Kindergarten, Year 1, Year 2 and Year 5 students received a visit from the author Ursula Dubosarsky. She shared her writing process, where she gets her ideas and how she develops these ideas into stories. Our students were able to ask many questions as Ursula discussed her popular children titles, The Terrible Plop, Too Many Elephants in This House, The Blue Cat and Tim and Ed.
It was then time for the much anticipated assembly. Students paraded their extremely creative costumes with students and families cheering them on. The teachers also got into the spirit and came dressed as the hungry caterpillar. Some of the teachers even presented a Readers’ Theatre about a bikie gang who stumble across a library and are immersed in the wonderful literature they find there.
Later in the day, students formed teams of four to participate in a ‘Scavenger Hunt’ across the school. They visited different classrooms to complete activities and earned points for showing respectful and collaborative behaviours.
On Wednesday, Year 3 and Year 5 students were spoilt with a visit from popular author Louise Park. She shared her writing strategies of show, rather than tell, creating memorable characters, techniques for developing quests and adventure stories and much much more!

Today we are filled with gratitude for the wonderful Dads that stepped up and provided, not only an amazing example to our young students, but also their time, support, and presence, helping to build a stronger sense of community and belonging within the OLMC School Community. They did an amazing job, finishing off the stall before 1pm. Thank you so much and we look forward to seeing you next year (Mrs Anderiesz will have a leader board ready to go!)๐คฃ

Our first assembly for the term was held over Zoom, where we celebrated the achievements of our Merit and Star Card recipients โ congratulations to all! As we commenced the month of May, dedicated to Mary, students were reminded that they are welcome to bring rosary beads in a pouch or zip-lock bag to school to join in prayerful reflection during this special month. Wishing everyone a wonderful term ahead filled with learning, excellence and community. ๐๐

Today, we observe Good Friday, a sacred day in our faith. As a Catholic school community, we pause to remember the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made out of love for us all. On this solemn day, we reflect on His suffering and death on the crossโan act of profound mercy and redemption. Let us take this time to pray, to be still, and to draw closer to Christ, knowing that through His passion comes the promise of resurrection and new life. โBy His wounds, we are healed.โ โ Isaiah 53:5 Wishing our community a blessed and prayerful Good Friday.
