MACSSIS 2023

Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools – School Improvement Surveys (MACSSIS): Monday 28th August – Friday 15th September 2023

Once again we are inviting all families, Year 4 - 6 students & staff to complete this years MACSSIS survey. Our community’s opinions are critical to understanding how our school is performing – MACSSIS is a key data source for guiding the ongoing work to improve our school. 

All participation is invited, welcomed and 100 per cent voluntary. The surveys are not a test; they are an inclusive way to support the work we are already doing to improve our school. 

We strongly encourage all families to complete the survey & have a voice in how our school can continue to grow & improve. 

A letter with further information, the survey link, and your families unique password  will be sent home to each family during week 7.

If you would like more information or have any questions please contact Justin or Sandy.

Multicultural Day Friday October 13th, 2023

We are looking forward to celebrating the uniqueness of our school community. All families are invited to a whole school assembly @ 9am with a Parade of Nations.  After the assembly parents are welcome to go with their children to the Learning Centres where each child will create their own OLSC passport.

To make this day bigger & better we are calling for your help. 

• We are looking for volunteers to read a prayer at the assembly.  The idea is that the parent will read a prayer in their mother tongue & their child repeat the prayer in English. If you are able to do this please email Sandy.
• To celebrate all of our families we are creating a family photo wall. We are asking all students to bring in a family photo for our photo wall.
• At our assembly & Parade of Nations on October 13th students are asked to come to school in their National Dress or the colours of the flag from their country of origin.
• Do you have a favourite recipe from your culture that your family just love to eat?  If so please contribute to the OLSC Recipe Book by  sending us a copy of your favourite recipe. Please email your recipe to Sandy: shenderson@olscwyn.catholic.edu.au
