21.01.2022 Our Year 9s returned from camp this afternoon after a day of Indigenous games and activities. We couldnt resist a final group photo next to one of the water tanks that the group painted. A lasting reminder of our first group of Year 9s to have a camp at this new site.

21.01.2022 The Journey Bell A new beginning can often result from something else coming to an end. A new tradition at OLSCC is the ringing of our Journey Bell. New students ring the bell to symbolise beginning their journey as an OLSCC student. Upon graduation, students will once again have the opportunity to ring out the year to signify their journey with us has ended, but also their journey into adulthood has begun. Yesterday, Jett, Year 7 rang the Journey Bell. We welcome Jett as part of our OLSCC community.

20.01.2022 Our Year 6 cohort headed outdoors for their learning today as we ventured towards Winton. A small town with such a rich history. Did you know that Banjo Paterson wrote Waltzing Matilda while in Winton? Or that it was the birth place of QANTAS? Today, we were hunting for dinosaurs by starting at the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum. This region hosts an enormous fossil deposits including the only evidence of a dinosaur stampede on the planet at Lark Quarry.

20.01.2022 There goes our year 6 cohort. They are all loaded up and on their way to Central West Queensland (Longreach, Winton, Barcaldine, McFarlane and Charleville) for 6 days. So much learning and fun to be had... Keep an eye on Facebook for updates throughout the week.

12.01.2022 Up Day in the Senior Years. Students in Years 9-12 had a terrific opportunity to hit the ground running for next year as part of the College’s Up Day. The day started with a Senior Years Assembly which featured our guest speaker Will Gillespie (Class of 2016) who spoke about achieving success at school. This was followed by lessons in our 2021 classes. Our Food, Nutrition and Textiles students even had the chance to cook some Christmas treats. The Year 11 and 12 students participated in deep learning sessions about how to master your QCE. What a huge day of action in the Senior Years! #olsccdifference

04.01.2022 Developing Assessment Capable Learners in RE In Year 9 Religious Education, each lesson begins with reading the daily gospel and writing two reflective sentences. Today the students were asked to rank the quality of sentences by placing their work on the A E scale across the front of the classroom. It is incredibly pleasing to witness students honesty in self-assessment and knowing what the next step is that they need to take.
