During Week 2 and 3, 43 students at OLOL received the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Eucharist. We thank Father Quinlan for officiating at each of the 4 ceremonies. We also thank the candidates and their parents for being so patient during the disruptions of Covid 19. We congratulate these children on becoming full members of our Catholic Faith. May the gifts of the Holy Spirit be with them always and the body of Jesus, which they can now receive at every Mass, sustain and support them during their life’s journey.

Thank You to all who dressed up in red last Thursday for Our Day for Daniel. The children learnt some very important messages about ways to keep themselves safe and we raised some money to donate to the Daniel Morcombe Foundation to help them continue their good work.

November is the month of our Mini Vinnie Christmas Appeal – we will be collecting gift cards for our needy families at Christmas time. Gift Cards have been requested as an alternative to hampers - to make it safer for our St Vincent De Paul volunteers who sort and deliver to those in need. Please send your gift card donations to your child’s classroom. Gift cards can come from grocery stores, toy stores or pharmacies.

Unfortunately, due to Covid 19 restrictions regarding numbers of people gathering we are unable to hold our annual (2-4) Christmas Concert. Grades will be holding a prayer ceremony at individual times – please keep an eye out for dates, times and venues for your child’s grade.

Our End of Year Ceremony will be held in the hall on Friday 4^th December at 12 noon for the students of the school.
