Be still, wait, do not rush things.
Let life happen by itself.
Work with it, trust in the spirituality and wisdom that is around you.
With confidence, we wait for God too.
His time is 'right time'.
Wait for Him to make His Word clear.
'Right time', gentle time, don't rush.
Sometimes waiting is painful.
Sometimes it's a struggle.
But, Circle is always turning.
'Right time' will come.
Be patient. Be still. Listen.
Dear Parents, Students and Community Members,
The term has started very smoothly with the students already back into a
positive and settled learning environment. Thanks to all staff for your
preparation during the holidays and thanks to all parents for having your
children so organised for the term. A reminder that next week is still a
transition to winter uniform week with correct winter uniform required for
the start of week 3, Monday 14th May.
Welcome to our new and returning families:
Poppy Taylor (KGB)and her parents, Amy and Paul; Lockie
(Y2K) and Jarvis (Y5) Davies and their parents Chelsea and
Kane. We are also very happy to have Xavier (1P) and
Lachlan (Y4) Hayhow, and their parents Rohan and Mitch

Catholic Education Commission of WA – Strategic Directions 2019 – 2021
All involved in Catholic Education in WA are invited to participate in a
survey which will inform the draft Strategic Directions for 2019 to 2021. I
have attached a letter from Debra Sayce, Acting Executive Director
explaining and introducing the survey and providing a link to complete
the survey. There will also be hard copies available from the office. I have
just completed my response and can see how perspectives from all in our
communities would be helpful in guiding the Catholic Education
Commission to ensure the future of our schools, so please consider
completing the survey.

Community Anzac Day Service
On behalf of all in our community I would like to
congratulate and thank our Head Girl and Head Boy, Nina
Beers and Owen Murphy, for representing our school and
community in their address to the large crowd in
attendance. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend this year,
but have heard from many people that they presented their
very moving address very competently and respectfully.
My thanks to Mr Torrese and Nina and Owen’s parents for
helping them prepare the presentation. Well done to the
other ten students who represented our school in the
parade.
Nina and Owen also laid a beautiful
wreath on our behalf during the
ceremony.
Open Morning and Coles Promotion Boards
Our open morning will be conducted on Tuesday 22nd May from 9.30am to 11am with our year six
students showing our visitors around our wonderful school. We will be advertising in the local papers,
but I would like community members to extend personal invitation to any friends or contacts you may
have who might be interested in the quality education we offer at OLC.
Advance Notice – Change of Faction Sports Dates
Due to our Faction Sports Carnival clashing with the Thursday evening production of Jungle Book, we
have moved the carnival to Week 7, Term Three. The dates for the carnival will now be:
Jumps: Y1 28th Aug, Y2 – Y6 29th Aug; Throws: Y1 4th Sept, Y2 – Y6; Sports Carnival: 6th Sept.
These dates can be viewed on the on-line calendar. I am giving advance notice in the hope that
parents will not plan holidays on these dates.
Procedure for Unexplained Absences
If your child is absent and you haven’t given prior notice to Fran or the classroom teachers, please
call the absentee line on 9755 3866 before 9.30am so we can account for your children. If we haven’t
heard from parents by 9.30am, we have to follow up with an sms and then with a phone call if there
is no response to the sms. This is a requirement from our recent compliance audit. This process is time
consuming so please contact us as soon as you know your child or children will be away.
If you child arrives after the school bell they must be signed in at the office, or you may receive a text
as they will have been marked absent on the teacher’s roll.
Kindergarten 2019 Interviews
These will commence soon, so please encourage new families to enquire. If you
have a sibling commencing next year, please complete a form and return to
the office as soon as possible.
Please continue to promote Little Seedlings (9.30am – 11am Fridays) and
encourage families to enquire if they are interested in Kindergarten enrolment
for 2019.
God Bless,
Des Wilkie, Principal

OLC CATHOLIC COMMUNITY CORNER FIRST EUCHARIST
Last night the Year 4 students attended a workshop with their parents in preparation for the
Sacrament of Eucharist, which they will receive for the first time on the 17th of June. The children
and their parents were engaged in a number of activities where they looked at the gifts that
they each possessed and they talked about how they can share those gifts with Jesus and
others. They also discussed the signs and symbols of Eucharist and their meaning. It was a special
evening with lots of interesting discussion. Many thanks to Mrs.
Ricciardione and Mr. Torrese for their help with the workshop. Please
keep the Year 4 students in your prayers as they continue on their
journey of faith. Mrs Amie Meyer OLC RE Coordinator.
YEAR FOUR FAMILY MASS AND EUCHARIST ENROLMENT
This Saturday evening our Year 4 students will have their Family
Mass, during which they will undertake a commitment ceremony in
preparation for the reception of the Sacrament of First Eucharist.
Mass begins at 6.00pm and will be followed by a shared supper of
pizza. All OLC families are welcome to attend to show their support of the Year 4 children, and
are also very welcome to stay afterwards for pizza. If you are intending to come along, please
RSVP to [email protected] as soon as possible for catering purposes. We’d love to see
you there!
CASUALS FOR CATHOLICS
You may be aware of Catholic Care in the Diocese of Bunbury which provides help for families
and people in need across the southern part of our state. The motto for this organisation is
“People Helping People”. Every year Bishop Holohan asks schools in the Bunbury Diocese to hold
a ‘Casuals for Catholic Care Day’ for a gold coin donation. This was originally scheduled to be
held next Friday.11th May. However, we are having the Mother’s Day Breakfast on Friday 11th
and I would like the children in normal Friday sports uniform for this excellent community event.
Casuals for Catholics Care Day will now be held Friday the 18th of April and students are invited
to wear casual clothes on this day. Many thanks for your support and donations.
Mrs. Amie Meyer,
OLC Religious Education Coordinator
TEACHERS LEARN TOO!
As part of a school commitment to improve our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander cultures and histories, the OLC staff spent some time with local Wadandi man Josh
Whiteland on Monday. As part of the experience Josh explained the deep connection the
Wadandi people have to the Cape to Cape region. After a walk around Cape Naturaliste
Lighthouse, we gathered at the “Meeting Place” for an interactive experience with an artefact
interpretation and a didgeridoo music session. We are a pretty musical bunch!
The afternoon was informative and interesting and the OLC staff hopes to use what they learned to
help develop the knowledge and understanding of the students at our school.
It’s that time of the year again!
You are invited to join us for the 2018 Book Fair which will be held in the OLC library
on Wednesday 16th May and Thursday 17th May. Books and novelties will be
available for purchase from 8.00 am – 9.00am and 3.30pm – 4.30pm on both of
these days.
Students are permitted to bring money to their library lessons on these days to make
purchases if you believe them to be responsible enough. If you plan in sending your
child to school with more than $20, please ensure they have a permission note to
say they can spend the money.
We receive a large commission from the sale of these books each year to spend on
new books for the OLC library. Your support is appreciated!
Kind regards,
Amie & Mary-Lee
