Early Years Testing will continue this week.  

Grade Representative

Thank you to Erica Van Heerden, Sam Sirry, Carolina Orts and Kate Murray for being our Year One Parent Representatives. Thank you to the many parents who volunteered for this role. We are so fortunate to have so much support. 

Contact Information Note

Last week we sent home a white note for parents regarding contact details. Please return this note ASAP as the information needs to be passed along to the parent representatives.

Personal Belongings

Many students have misplaced belongings such as hats, jackets, drink bottles etc. We ask that you please have a good look in your child’s bag, as children often place their belongings into the wrong bag by accident. Your child may unknowingly have another students’ belongings in the bottom of their bag. Please ensure that your child’s name is clearly marked on all of their possessions.

Toys

We have started to notice children are bringing a considerable amount of toys to school with them and they are unable to fit them into their bags properly. We kindly ask that they only bring one toy to school. Children are misplacing their toys and becoming upset as they have lost them. If you do send a toy, please clearly mark it with their name.

Photo Day Notes

Notes for photo day were sent home this week. Please return these notes to your class teacher. Photo day is on Friday 31st March.

School Banking

This will resume on THursday 9 March at 8:15am in the school library

PBS4L 

PBS4L was taught to the children at OLOR in 2016. Each fortnight this year OLOR will be reteaching a PBS4L skill. The skill we will be focusing on for the next two weeks is Active Listening. Talk to you children about the importance of this skill at home and at school. Ask them if they are being active listeners in the classroom and what it should look, feel and sound like.
