Principal's Chat

Term 3, Week 10 - Friday 15th September, 2023

Good afternoon OLSC families   

To all of the OLSC families I thank you for everything this term and wish for a relaxing break over the next 2 weeks.  I know many of our parents continue working throughout the term break and it is my sincere hope that you get at least some time away from the morning alarm clock.  

 

I congratulate the students on their work over the last 10 weeks.  You have all done  a wonderful job this term.  

 

On behalf of our school community I thank the staff for their care and dedication to the students and OLSC wider community.  You work and support is appreciated greatly.  Enjoy the break.

Here's a recap of the last two weeks at OLSC... 

Year 5/6 Camp from Wednesday 6th to Friday 8th September 

The students and staff from the 5/6 area attended camp at Mt Evelyn last week.  By all reports a fabulous time was had by all and even with some very inclement weather on the Friday they managed to have a great time and participate in all planned events.  

 

Prep Zoo Excursion

On Thursday 14th September the Prep students attended the Royal Melbourne Zoo.   Thanks to Amanda for organising this massive day out and to all of the parents and grand-parents that were able to attend. 

 

Learning Expo 

This morning we had a very successful learning expo.  This was an opportunity for our students to showcase their learning and hard work.  The topic that has been studied throughout the term was sustainability and the amount of learning that was shared was impressive.  Well done to the students and thank you to the staff for preparing the students so well.  

 

Whole School Assembly 

Thanks to everyone that could join us for our Whole School Assembly at 12:00pm.  It was great to see so many families were able to attend.  Well done to all students that received an award for their achievements this term.
