Last Thursday, Kindergarten welcomed Fr Joseph to our Learning space for a special visit! ✨ The students had the opportunity to share what they have been learning about 'How God is present in our world' and ask Fr Joseph any questions they had about their learning and faith. As October is the Month of the Holy Rosary, Fr Joseph also blessed the Rosary Beads the students received. 💙 As a school community, we have been praying a decade of the Rosary each morning, deepening our faith and growing closer to Mary and Jesus. We are grateful to Fr Joseph for taking the time to visit our Kindergarten students and support them on their faith journey. 🕊️

While the weather stopped Year 3 going out to an excursion, the good news is that they didn't miss out on the explosive fun! Ranger Jamie Tours brought the excursion to school instead, and Year 3 enjoyed an exciting, educational and explosive day full of science experiments and learning!

🦆☀️ Kindergarten Ducklings! ☀️🦆 Our Kindergarten students have loved watching our ducklings grow while learning all about living things in Science! Yesterday, the ducklings enjoyed a swim outside in the sunshine, and the students were lucky enough to gently pat them and feel their soft feathers. What a wonderful hands-on learning experience! 🐣

What a day we had on Friday celebrating the Feast Day of Our Lady of the Rosary. We started the day with a "Marian Gallery Walk", viewing and reflecting on the beautiful artworks children made of Mary, the Mother of God. We then gathered together as a school community to celebrate Mass. After Mass, we enjoyed a special feast day treat, and celebrated the amazing talents of our students with our OLOR's Got Talent Showcase. Thank you to everyone who made it such a special day. Our Lady of the Rosary, Pray for Us.

It's Feast Week at OLOR, celebrating the feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary (which the Church observes during the school holidays). While there was a bit of rain today, it didn't stop us from getting into our sport activities and games. Rumour has it that even Mr Battikha was spotted practising his golf swing! Our big day of Feast Week will be tomorrow, where we will go on a gallery walk of the Marian artworks created in each grade, celebrate Mass, enjoy a special treat and watch our OLOR's Got Talent Showcase. Parents and friends are invited to join us as we celebrate Mass together at 11:45 am.

It wasn't just students who came to school today... We've had some very special visitors join us in Kindergarten. They have had 6 ducklings hatch so far in their classroom! 🥚 ➡ 🦆 The students were so excited to see some of them hatching today. They are so excited to watch them grow and learn all about their life cycle while learning about Living Things in Science this term. Once the ducklings get a little bigger, Kindergarten will be able to take them outside for some fresh air and exploring.
