From the Principal

Rudy Vail

Dear OLHC Community,

Welcome back, everyone, to Term 2! It's truly a joy to see our classrooms bustling once again with the laughter and energy of our students. I hope that you all had a restful and rejuvenating break.

Anzac Day

As we approach Anzac Day, we extend a warm invitation to families to join us in commemorating this significant event. Last year, our school leaders solemnly laid a wreath during the Eltham RSL dawn service, and this year, we continue to honour this tradition.

Anzac Day holds deep significance for Australians and New Zealanders, as it marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during World War I. It is a day of remembrance, reflection, and gratitude for the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women, both past and present.

We believe that it is important for children to recognise the importance of Anzac Day and understand the sacrifices made by those who served our country. By participating in such ceremonies children learn about the values of courage, mateship, and sacrifice that lie at the heart of the Anzac spirit.

Our school's involvement in the Eltham RSL dawn service provides a meaningful opportunity for our students to honour the memory of those who have served and to show their gratitude for the peace and prosperity they have inherited.

Eltham RSL dawn service will commence at the corner of Main Road and Dudley Street at 5:30 a.m. on Thursday, the 25th of April.
