FOOTYCOLOURSDAY.COM.AU
We raised $837.00
A huge THANKYOU to the OHR community
We wore our footy colours for kids with cancer!
Every day, 3 Aussie kids are diagnosed with cancer. For families facing long-term treatment, the average stay is more than 6 months, often far from home, school, friends and everything familiar.
The students wore their favourite footy gear on the day and enjoyed the planned activities after Mass.
Congrats to our Brisbane Lions fans!!

Swimming and water safety instruction is a mandatory priority area within the Victorian Curriculum F–10 Version 2.0, integrated across the Health and Physical Education learning area for all students from Foundation to Level 10.
Core Requirements & Objectives
Mandatory Priority: Schools must deliver progressive aquatic education covering both theoretical water safety knowledge and practical in-water skills.
Victorian Water Safety Certificate (VWSC): Primary school students are expected to demonstrate key competencies by the end of Year 6.
We are excited to let parents know the OHR Swimming Program will commence at PLC indoor pool on Tuesday 10th November. Our swimming days will be on a Tuesday and Thursday. Times for the swim classes will be finalised by PLC once they have the completed Google forms.
PLC will provide a Google form for the parents to fill out with the nominated swimming level of your child. This is for Day 1 grouping assessment. This form will be sent out to each family shortly.
