Term 2 - Week 3

Hi parents,

It is that time of the year again. NAPLAN week.
The students will be completing 4 different assessments across the week. Below is a timetable of when the tests will be held.

	Tuesday 9 May 2017	Wednesday 10 May 2017	Thursday 11 May 2017
Year 5	Language conventions 40 minutes Writing 40 minutes	Reading 50 minutes	Numeracy 50 minutes

I have decided that there will be no set homework this week as I would like the students to be relaxed in the afternoons and not to add another stress. I have encouraged students to continue to use the Timetables Quiz app to help with their mental multiplication.

Cheers,
Mr Danaher

These interviews will be done in Week 10.

Dear Parents,

In week 10 I will be conducting Parent/Teacher Interviews at the following times:

·        4/4/16 - Tuesday afternoon        (3.15pm – 5.30pm)

·        5/4/16 - Wednesday afternoon  (3.15pm – 5.30pm)

A timetable has been placed on the door of Purple Room for you to fill in. The interviews will only go for 15 minutes.

If during our discussion it becomes apparent that there is more to be discussed we can arrange a mutually convenient time to discuss the matter further.

If the timeslots are unsuitable, please let me know and we can arrange another time to meet.

Regards

Mr Danaher. 

Father Ian Visit

On Friday we were lucky enough to have a visit from Father Ian. It was a great discussion with excellent and mature responses by the Year 5's.

One specific point that was discussed was about the Year 5 students being involved in mass through altar serving.

If any students would like to be an altar server please come and let me know.
Thank you.

Swimming Carnival

Our swimming carnival is this Thursday 23rd of February at the Geographe Leisure Centre.  As always it looks like it is going to be a fabulous, fun filled day.

Coming home today are permission slips and a note detailing what to expect on Thursday. Students have placed these in their bags and I have enclosed attached them below for reference.

To ensure smooth sailing, please ensure that the completed permission slips are returned tomorrow.

Looking forward to a fun day
Mr Danaher

St Vincent de Paul Christmas Hamper Appeal

ST VINCENT DE PAUL CHRISTMAS HAMPER APPEAL

Each year at OLC we take time to be thankful for all that we have and to assist those in need.

We are asking all families in the school to give as generously as possible.

This year the Year 4/5/6 student families are being asked to donate toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, hairbrushes, toothpaste, toothbrushes, lip balm, sunscreen, soap etc.

If each family could give at least 2 items it would go a long way to helping those families in need.

I will place a box in Year 6 for your donations, if you can please make sure that you have them in by Monday 5th December.

Many thanks,

Mr McSevich, Mr Danaher & Mrs Delane 

Homework Term 4

This is the spelling homework for the rest of the Term. It doesn't matter what order they are completed in, as long as they are all completed by Friday.

Speeches

Leadership Speeches

Next Wednesday the 9th of November the students in Year 5 will be presenting their Leadership speeches in front of Year 4's and 6's. The speeches will be held at 11:30 in the hall.

The students have been working extremely hard on their speeches and I think that we have a few budding Churchill's or Michelle Obama's with the quality they have produced.

Thank you,

Ben
