Congratulations to our debating team who represented OLOR in Round 2 of the Year 6 Debating Competition. Debating as the negative team on the topic, "Children should learn a second language," our students delivered a confident and well-prepared case. Their success was built on strong arguments, clear definitions, and solid rebuttals that effectively challenged the opposition's points. The team demonstrated excellent teamwork, critical thinking, and public speaking skills throughout the debate. Their ability to listen carefully, think quickly, and respond persuasively impressed both the audience and adjudicator. We are proud to share that our team was awarded the debate. Congratulations to our team on their outstanding effort and achievement, and thank you Mrs Luland for your support. We look forward to following our teams' debating journey throughout the remainder of the competition!

As the weather gets colder, we are reminded that many families in our community face significant challenges during the winter months. As part of our St Mary MacKillop Faith in Action Award Program, we are inviting our school community to support our Winter Appeal by donating much-needed items to assist those experiencing hardship. Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a meaningful difference to someone in need. We encourage our students to live out the values of compassion, generosity and service by supporting this important initiative and helping bring warmth and hope to others this winter. Please see the infographic below for donation details and collection information. Thank you for your continued support and generosity. 💙❄️

It's the highlight of Year 6 every year - the Canberra excursion! Last week, Year 6 put their learning about democracy, government into action, visiting Parliament House, the Electoral Education Centre and the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House. They also explored our nation's culture, heritage and history at the Australian War Memorial, Australian Institute of Sport, the National Portrait Gallery, and of course, everyone's favourite Canberra excursion destination - Questacon! Thank you to our Year 6 students for the positive way they represented OLOR, and to our amazing teachers who worked well outside normal work hours to make the excursion happen - Mrs Luland, Mrs Prince, Mrs Sebbens, Mrs Lee, Mrs Noonan and Mr Battikha. The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributing $30 per student to our school under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion.
