Dear Families
Hoping you are staying well during this second lockdown and have adjusted to learning from home again. Thank you to those who have reached out to us- it really makes our day! It has been lovely to see so many families pass by and pop in to say hello, and share what is happening in their lives at the moment. We are intending to continue reaching out to all of you too.
We have introduced temperature checks upon entry to our service, which has been turned into a guessing game to keep us all smiling. We have also enjoyed learning about space and science this week as it is of high interest to our lovely group of essential children. They have utilised their hypothesising and researching skills throughout the week!
We wanted to share some inspirational pictures to brighten your day from this week at Oshclub. We made some artwork to send over to the Doutta Galla Aged Care, which featured lots of bright colours and lovely messages.
Thinking of you all,
Poppy and Cassie

Emmanuel College News
We have mentioned before about value we place in delivering our extensive transition program, it has delivered a smooth transition for so many students from primary to secondary school. Equally as important is the relationships that we encourage between our students and those in our feeder primary schools. During the year, we work closely with our feeder schools to determine what value add experiences we can share for the students of both schools. During the past 12 months we have partnered in science programs, soccer clinics, music and performing arts workshops and social justice projects just to name a few. These partnerships provide the primary school students with the opportunity to aspire as leaders within their own school and within Emmanuel when they arrive.
Please use the link below to watch a conversation between friends from our school and one of our feeders, these are crucially important relationships to build.

Dear Families and Friends
I hope you are keeping safe, warm and well during what is a challenging time for us all.
In amongst all of this our school continues to work towards an exciting and sustainable future as a co-educational Catholic school in the tradition of Blessed Edmund Rice. We are very pleased to announce that we have secured the lease for the Presentation College Windsor (PCW) site for 2021 and beyond. We will operate our reimagined school across two adjacent, historic sites with a bold master plan for major capital development in the future.
This campus compliments our Westbury St Campus which will be known as Edmund Rice Campus, after our founder, Blessed Edmund Rice. The PCW site will be named Presentation Campus, after Presentation Sisters and in recognition of Presentation College. This acquisition provides us with the opportunity to extend our subject offerings and be innovative in our use of the facilities and learning spaces to benefit students of all year levels.
