Crazy Hair and Wear Yellow Day

Today was Crazy Hair and Wear Yellow Day. This day was to raise awareness and money for the Children's Cancer Foundation, which supports children's cancer research and children with cancer and their families.  

2024 Sacramental Intentions

Last Friday, students from Years 2-5 should have received a letter regarding the 2024 Sacramental Program. The sacramental program is an integral part of the Catholic identity and faith development of students at OLSC. The sacramental program is an important part of both our school and parish community life. We ask that you indicate your intention for your child/ren to participate. 

To participate in the Sacramental Program children must be baptised Catholic or have been welcomed into the Catholic Church. If the school does not yet have a copy of your child/ren’s baptism certificate, we request that you supply this to the office as soon as possible. Children may receive more than one sacrament in the school year but only if the sacrament is celebrated in a year level lower than their current year:

Year 3 - Reconciliation;                

Year 4 - Reconciliation and Eucharist, 

Year 5 - Reconciliation and Eucharist, and 

Year 6 - Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation.

A digital copy of the letter is also available below:

First Reconciliation 2024 Intentions

If you have already completed the online Google Form for Reconciliation in 2024, you are not required to return the form. However, if you have not yet indicated you wish for your child to celebrate First Reconciliation in 2024, please complete the paper form and return it to school. 

School Masses 

Prep and Year 5/6 Mass

On Friday the 27th of October we will be celebrating Mass with the Prep and 5/6 students. This will be a wonderful experience of sharing our faith as buddies! Mass will begin at 2pm in the Sports Centre. All of our community is invited, but especially our Prep & 5/6 families. 

Our last whole school Mass will be in Week 7, on Friday 17th November at 2pm. We hope to see as many families celebrate and thank God the school year!

Columban Calendar

Please find below details on how you can purchase a Columban Art Calendar for 2024. They are beautiful calendars and make wonderful gifts also. The money raised through the sale of the calendars goes towards the missionary and charitable work of the Columban Fathers (St Columban Missionary Society).
