Kindness Award:

This week Miss Mikhael wanted to hand out a kindness award. This is awarded to Lennox in year 6. This is what she said "Your kindness and helpfulness is not overlooked, kindness is doing what you can, where you can, with what you have." This award is for your exemplary action and display of integrity.

Teachers and school student leaders are always on the lookout for people displaying acts of kindness.

Clean Up OLPS Day (Friday 1st March)

On Sunday 3rd of March, it is Clean Up Australia Day. This day promotes conserving our environment and eliminating litter and ending waste. On March 1st we are celebrating Clean Up OLPS Day. We want to eliminate litter and end waste at our school.

On clean-up day we will be encouraging nude food. Nude food is when we try to bring food with no wrappers. This will help us reduce litter in our school. The class with the least amount of waste in the bin for each year level will receive some fresh fruit or veggies from our very own veggie garden.

We encourage everyone to stop littering and to throw your rubbish into the bins provided.

At the end of the day on clean up OLPS day the Sustainability Leaders will be going around the school yard to pick up any rubbish we see. We are hoping that we don’t have to pick up any litter. Our goal is zero rubbish in the yard on this day. We will let you know how our school goes at assembly on Friday 1st March.
