Today the Church celebrates the Feast Day of Our Lady of the Rosary. We give thanks to God for Mary's example, faith, humility and courage as the mother of Jesus, and for her protection of our parish and school community as our patron saint. In the first week of next term, our school community will engage in a range of activities to celebrate our feast day. In particular, we invite you to join us for our OLOR Feast Day Mass on Friday 16 October at 11:45 am.

We recently shared with you the great work our teachers are doing teaching phonics in Kindergarten and Year 1, and the results show it! Earlier this term, we completed the NSW Year 1 Phonics Screening Check, and have seen a big improvement with the introduction of explicit, systematic phonics instruction. This year, 90% of our Year 1 students achieved an 'on track' result, compared to just over 65% last year. Phonics is an important foundational skill for reading and writing, so we're thrilled to see our students making such crucial growth in their learning.

Be an OLOR Road Safety Star! It's easy to be in a rush and drive away, assuming that everyone is clear of your car. Help keep your children safe by checking that car doors are closed, and that your child is either well aware from the car (when dropping off) or inside the car (when picking up) before you drive away.

It's been a big week for our school band. Our senior band entertained us once again at our Friday assembly, and both our junior and senior band performed for parents and carers at a special concert on Monday. Some of the most popular songs were the senior band's renditions of some classic Michael Jackson hits. Should we say that their performance was a 'thriller'? Congratulations to our bands and to our Teaching Services Australia team who do an amazing job working with our band every week.

Thank you to all the parents and carers whom came along last week and participated in our Student-Led Conferences. It was great to see parents and carers learning more about their child's learning, and to see our students identifying areas of achievement, explaining their learning progress and articulating their next steps as learners at OLOR.

Lewis Last week, OLOR joined schools from across the Hills District for the presentation evening of The Hills-Kellyville Rotary's Club's Writing Competition. Now in its twentieth year, it was a wonderful celebration of writing talent. We congratulate Rajeev, Kate and Matilda, who were acknowledged on the night as our schoool finalists. Thank you to the Rotary Club of The Hills-Kellyville for your continued support of this competition.

It's always great to hear positive feedback! A big part of our learning goal over the past two years to improve reading outcomes for students has been the adoption of the InitiaLit literacy program - first in Kindergarten, and this year in Year 1. Yesterday, we welcomed staff from the Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese Primary Learning team, as well as from program developers MultiLit. They visited our Kindergarten and Year 1 learning spaces, watched our amazing teachers in action and provided feedback on their work. We knew our teachers were doing a fantastic job, but it was great to hear it from other literacy professionals. What's more, the results we are seeing are telling us that as well. We thank CSPD and MultiLit for joining us and affirming what we've known all along - that our teachers are making a difference in our students' learning. We are so proud of the work they do every single day.
