Term 4 Week 3

 Welcome to Week 3!


How fast did those first two weeks go?! The year threes have started the term strong with impressive growth in their PAT assessments. We are so proud of them all!

Hat Off to Teachers:
Next Friday is World Teachers Day, the theme being Hats Off To Teachers. To celebrate the fantastic teachers we have at OLC, the P&F will be hosting a morning tea for the teachers. To join in the fun and celebrate the teachers, the students are asked to wear a fun hat to school.

School Photo day:
Fotomakers WA will visit Our Lady of the Cape Primary School on the 26th of October, 2023. All orders will need to be placed online. There is no option to pay with cash. Every student has received an information letter to take home. The information letter gives the students a unique access key for ordering online and clear instructions for ordering your photos. Note that all students from Y1 – Y6 should wear full formal uniforms on Thursday. This includes shorts for boys, shorts or summer dresses for girls and winter green woollen formal jumpers for all students in those years. Hair accessories must be in school colours only (teal green, white or black).

Uniforms:
Please take some time to check in with our school policy around hair cuts and uniform expectations for the last term - this includes socks or incorrect shoes. 
A big one for us is the hair being tied up. This needs to be done is the students hair is past their shoulder.
If you've had a uniform malfunction, please write a quick note to send in with your child or flick me a quick email giving me the heads up.

Laptop 2024:
All families received a note regrading laptops for Year 4 next year. These are due on Friday 27th October, can you please make sure these are brought in by this date.

Grandparents Day:
We will celebrate Grandparents Day on Friday, the 3rd of November (Week 4). We will start at 9.00 am with a 1K assembly. Grandparents can then go into classrooms for activities from 9.30-10.40. At 10:40, they will have an opportunity to share morning tea with their grandchildren.

Hello parents and welcome to week 8. I had the pleasure of meeting a football icon yesterday. The full back of the Sharks league team Reece. I also got a photo with David Mundy, apparently he was good at football too. First Reconciliation & Family Mass - A  massive  thank you to all of the Year 3 families that came to Mass on Saturday night...it was a lovely time and a wonderful way to celebrate our First Reconciliation candidates and spend time together in prayer and companionship. Our Character Strength of the Week...Perseverance: What is Perseverance... Perseverance is sticking with things. It means being hardworking and finishing what is started, despite challenges and obstacles that arise. Sometimes we must dig deep and muster the will to overcome thoughts of giving up.  Some great questions to discuss around the dinner table include: When things get tough, do you keep on trying?  Do you finish what you start?  Stationery ...it is that time of the term when many pencil cases a

Term 4, Week 6

Hello everyone and welcome to week 6! I can't believe there is only a month left! Crazy! Our Character Strength of the Week...Bravery. A perfect segue into this particular strength, so many of of our soldiers, past and present show bravery in many ways.  WHAT IS BRAVERY? To be brave is to face your challenges, threats, or difficulties.  It involves valuing a goal or conviction and acting upon it, whether popular or not.  A central element involves facing – rather than avoiding – fears. This can be: Physical bravery - requiring us to do something physically challenging like running a race or getting a spider out of the bathroom.  Psychological bravery - working on owning all the parts of ourselves and accepting them as a valuable part of who we are.  Moral bravery - standing up for what is right, even if it isn't a popular opinion or others don't.  Technologies Monday: Please check in with your child to make sure they have gathered and packed their tower items ready for  tom

Term 2, Week 9

Hello everyone and welcome to week 9.  Can't believe that there is only 2 weeks left of school. Tminus 13 days until I head to Darwin. You little beauty. Our Character Strength of the Week...Perspective What Is Perspective? Perspective means the ability to see the bigger picture in life.  Perspective is about being able to see the forest as well as the trees, to avoid getting wrapped up in the small details when there are bigger issues to consider.  While listening to others, perspective helps you to think about life lessons, proper conduct, and what’s best for the situation being discussed. This ability to look as a whole, or to think in big terms, helps you to offer good advice.  This is one I can personally find challenging when I am caught up in the grind of life...small things feel super important and it can be hard to see the wood for the trees.  I am working on trying to broaden this perspective and I will often ask myself 'will this matter this much in 5 days/weeks/mont
