NEWSLETTER | TERM 2 | WEEK 10 | 19 June 2024
Dear Parents and Carers
Reports will be sent home next week. Please take the time to celebrate your child’s growth and look at and discuss the value indicators in your child’s report. The characteristics are just as important as the grade your child gets in any learning area.
Our busy and active P&F have arranged a Bunnings Sausage Sizzle on Sunday 20th of October to raise funds to cover the cost of the Year 6 camp. We will need many parent/carer volunteers to assist in two hourly shifts throughout the day. There is an expectation that Year 6 parents/carers volunteer their time but we would welcome help from anyone in our school.
If you are interested in putting your name down for a shift, please register your interest by emailing admin@olom.edu.au.
Please keep our Year 4 students in your prayers as some of them meet at the church this Thursday at 5.30pm for the information session on the Sacrament of Eucharist
God bless you all,
Ondine Komnick
Principal
