Dear Parents and Students,
Thank you
I would like to send my sincere thanks to the parents, students and staff for making me feel very welcome since joining OLGC nearly 2 weeks ago.
It is a wonderful community, (I was Deputy here from 2004 to 2010) and I feel privileged to be back here again. I look forward to working with everyone over the coming weeks. Please feel free to come chat to me on the yard before and after school.
Prep enrolments 2025
I would like to remind parents that if you have a sibling commencing at OLGC next year, that you please complete the enrolment form and return it to the office ASAP. Also if you know of any families that are still considering where to send their child to school in 2025 please ask them to speak to the office so that we can arrange a tour for them. Please spread the word about our wonderful school.
Cross country
Congratulations to the students who represented OLGC at the Division Cross Country carnival at Ruffey Park Lake on Monday. Everyone gave it their 100%. You will find further details under the sports section of this newsletter. Thank you to Gianni for organising the students to attend.
Athletics
Our whole school athletics day will be held on the 18th of June at Genazzano. Parents are invited to come watch and support on the day.
Pupil Free Day
Just a reminder that Friday the 7th June is a pupil free day. Our staff will be working with the staff of Our Lady's and Our Holy Redeemer in the area of Religious Education.
