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.

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.

The moment finally arrived for Kindergarten today, as we officially opened their new play equipment. Harper and Rafael untied the ribbon before everyone in Kindergarten has the opportunity to play. Thank you again to Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese for their support and management of this project.

Did you know that fluency is an important skill for successful reading? And it's not just about reading quickly! Informed by school-wide assessment data, and our school improvement plan for learning, teachers across the school are implmenting new strategies for improving reading fluency. One strategy that is being used in our classes is buddy reading, where children to listen to each other read and give specific feedback. Our teachers are doing a great job teaching our children what fluent reading sounds like and what to look for, and our Year 1 students are already providing their buddies with valuable feedback!
