World Day of Prayer

On Friday, some of our senior students represented our Catholic school community at the World Day of Prayer service held at the Baptist Church, Cowes. Members from a variety of Christian groups across Phillip Island gathered together to pray for peace in our world, with this year’s focus being on the Women of Nigeria.

Our students led some of the prayers and represented our school beautifully, with support from Mrs Tilitson, Mrs McKillop, and Fr Siju. We thank Pastors Simon and Corinne of the Baptist church for inviting us to participate in this special event. May God bless our communities and help us bring peace to our world.

Choir at Baptist Church

A huge congratulations to our OLSS school choir, who entertained the crowds at the Baptist Church's carboot sale on Saturday. As always, they were amazing, and we were so proud of them! Big thanks too to Mrs Spottiswood for your inspiration and conducting!!!

Preps Visit with Father Sidhu

The Preps had a wonderful visit to the church on Tuesday with Father Sidhu. The students enjoyed learning about the different parts of the church and what each area is used for. From the altar to the baptismal font, Father Sidhu explained the special meaning behind these important places in our church.

It was a great opportunity for the children to explore their parish church and ask lots of thoughtful questions. Thank you, Father Sidhu, for sharing your time and knowledge with our students and helping bring their learning to life.

Our Junior students have been exploring three of the key elements of art: line, shape, and colour and transforming these ideas into spectacular garden creations!

Using a variety of lines to create patterns and movement, different shapes to design interesting layouts, and vibrant colours to bring their work to life, students have designed and built beautiful artistic gardens. Through this creative process, they have been able to experiment with how these elements work together to create visually engaging pieces.

It has been wonderful to see their imagination, creativity, and teamwork shine as they turned simple artistic concepts into colourful and eye-catching garden displays. The results are truly spectacular and a fantastic showcase of the artistic talents of our Junior students. 🌿🎨

Digital Technology

Our Prep students have been learning about the different devices we use as tools both at home and at school. As part of their learning, they explored how devices help us complete tasks, communicate, learn, and solve problems in our everyday lives.

To bring this learning to life, the students worked together with their buddies to design and create their own cardboard devices. Using their imagination and creativity, they built a range of wonderful inventions, carefully thinking about what their device would do and how it could help people.

The activity was filled with excitement, laughter, and teamwork as students shared ideas, helped one another, and proudly showed off their creations. It was fantastic to see their creativity and problem-solving skills in action while also strengthening the special buddy connections across the school. The students had an incredible time bringing their device ideas to life! 📱📦✨

Music

The Grade 1/2s have started their Music studies with The Orchestra! We are learning about instrument families and how sound is made.
