World Humanitarian Day

God, we pray for the humanitarian workers many of whom risk their lives while reaching out to relieve the suffering of others.

Protect them as they bring hope to those they serve. May we be inspired to also respond in whatever ways we can to those in need of our help. Open our hands in a gesture of love and compassion. Open our minds with understanding. Open our hearts with generosity.

Dear Parents and Carers

Humanitarian Day

Each year, World Humanitarian Day focuses on a theme, bringing together partners from across the humanitarian system to advocate for the survival, well-being, and dignity of people affected by crises, and for the safety and security of aid workers. This year, the already difficult work carried out by humanitarians has been made even more so, by the COVID-19 pandemic. On World Humanitarian Day we pay tribute, give a heartfelt thanks and pray for these real life heroes who reach out to their neighbours as Jesus taught, no matter how daunting the task.

Koman Way Pick Up

We received a complaint that our parents are often parking on Koman Way in a blind spot which causes danger for other road users. We ask that you follow road safety rules so that everyone in our community stays safe.

Spring Carnival

On Thursday, our Year 6 students and a few selected Year 5 students will be attending the Spring Carnival. Our students will participate in basketball, badminton and tag rugby games against other schools in the area. I know our students will be wonderful ambassadors for our school and will represent OLOM with pride. We wish them all the very best.

Code of Conduct

We continue unpacking the details of our Code of Conduct Statements:

Statement 7 says ‘You give impartial, honest and accurate information about the education , safety and well-being of students.

As parents are partners with school staff in the education of their children, this statement directs us to both share as much information with one another as openly and constructively as possible, for the best interests of the children in our care.

P&F Meeting – Thursday 27th August

Next week on Thursday we will hold our P&F meeting at 6pm in the school staffroom. All parents and carers are welcome to attend this meeting. We value input and support from our school community in this association.

A reminder that on Friday the 21 August we have a pupil free day. Our staff will be attending professional development on the benefits of mindfulness programs for students.

God bless you all.
