This Week's Mug Recipient

It has been a long standing tradition among the staff at O'Connor Catholic College to present at our Monday morning staff briefings 'the mug' which is for 'The Educator Most Unsung'. This week it went to Mr Michael Wooster. It was presented by the previous recipient, Miss Lauren Donnelly and she expressed her appreciation for Michael's willingness to help staff and students, particularly in the literacy area. Well done Mr Wooster.

Ethics Olympiad

On Monday last week O'Connor's Ethics Olympiad team participated in an Ethics based competition. Students were able to nut out various ethical issues with the guidance of the convener and it proved to be a great way for Angus, Jean, Joel, Claude and Roie to challenge themselves in this important area.
