This video shows a nine times tables strategy that we were shown in class today by one of the students.  It was made into a video so that we can watch it to remind us of the strategy!

Welcome to 6R for 2020!

Good morning, Welcome to Year 6!  I hope you all had a relaxing holiday enjoying the summer weather and making precious family memories. Whilst it has gone quickly, I am happy to be getting back into it and setting some routines to keep me on the straight and narrow.  Words fail to express how lucky and privileged both Alison and I feel to be having this group of students again before they leave OLC. Since having them in 2018, I have seen some amazing maturity and growth take place (I thank Mr D and you wonderful parents for that). For this reason, I expect big things from them all, as I know they are incredible little humans and have such great potential as the leaders of the school. Each student will need to take on greater roles and responsibilities this year in preparation for high school, enabling a smooth transition. As well as greater academic responsibilities, they will also be apart of a Ministry team that carries out different roles weekly. Here are...

Week 5 Term 4 Update

Good afternoon parents, Welcome to another amazing week here in 4R. I hope that you stayed cool in the heat of Saturday...I was lucky enough to enjoy a delicious high tea for an important charity and then spend time chilling by the pool.

We had a fantastic excursion to Eagle Heritage last Thursday and another huge thank you to Fiona, Michelle, Mike and John for coming along to keep us safe and make sure that no birds of prey carried anyone off! The students will be using this information that they gathered to begin planning for the bird of prey information report that we will be starting next week! Our day was then finished off superbly with an artist workshop conducted by Alan Meyburgh...after a slight change to plan he came up to school and we had a great time working in the hall on creating a sculpture of a bird using a variety of recycled materials. I was blown away by the...

Week 2 Term 4

Good morning everyone, What a dream weekend, I hope you had a great one! Perfect for any activity whether it was relaxing at family camp, mulling around Dunsborough and getting to the beach or hitting the big smoke to visit family and friends. For us, it was hanging by our pool and soaking up some much needed sun! Last week, we ended it with a visit to St Mary McKillop for an Open Day at the college. It was so fantastic to see so many OLC parents taking up the opportunity to take a tour and see what was on offer. Our students were so well behaved and loved the activities they got to experience. We first got to test our cooking abilities and make scrumptious fruit smoothies. It was great to see the students work so closely with the Year 9's listening and following their every direction. It was quite funny to see the shocked looks on their faces when it was time to wash up and clean their kitchens.  We then got to draw self portraits of themselves using oil pastels without li...
