Week 7 Update

Good afternoon parents,
Below are some updates for week 7.

Musical:
The musical is fast approaching and everyone is getting excited. We had our first dress rehearsal last week and it is looking amazing. It is sure to be very colourful. Thank you to all the parents that have been helping out.

Volunteer Firefighters Visitor:
As a part of Geography this term we have been looking at natural disasters. Last week we were lucky enough to have a visit from the local branch of volunteer firefighter. It was an excellent afternoon as they explained different ways that bushfires can start natural and on purpose. As well as different ways to prevented and prepare for bushfires. But, it wasn’t all learning, we did get to have some fun. Every student had a turn at using the hose and we got a demonstration of a hose that can release 4 tonne of water in 6 minutes. A big thank you to Mrs Jasper who used her connections to orgainse the afternoon.

Week 6

Good morning parents,
Below are some updates for week 6.

Family Camp Hat Design:
The students in Year 5 have the opportunity to create a design for the Family Camp hat. This is not compulsory. If your child would like their submission to be considered it needs to be handed to me by Friday 31st August at the latest.

iPad Space:
During this week, the students will be asked to download some Office 365 applications on their iPads. To do this they will need to have space on their iPads.

The most efficient way to free up space is to do the following:
1.    Delete videos from Camera Roll (must empty the Recycle Bin in the Camera Roll) and video apps (Netflix, VideoStar etc)
2.    Delete photos (must empty the Recycle Bin in the Camera Roll)
3.    Delete personal apps
4.    They should not delete any school apps

All students should also update the iOS on their iPad to the latest version (10.3.3).  Do this under Settings > General > Software Update.

A SEQTA text message will be sent out to specific students later on today.

School Photo Day:
This Thursday and Friday will be OLC school photo day. The students are required to wear full winter school uniforms (including jumper) on Thursday.
