24.01.2022 All parents, carers and younger kids are invited to meet Miss Di for a play in the park this Friday afternoon! Di Dryer has joined OLW this term as our Student Welfare Officer. With Covid restrictions in place, she can't yet offer a program of 'cuppa and chat' catch ups on site, but she'd love to start getting to know families - and helping families get to know each other. Come along to Petrie Place (fenced playground on Young Street, opposite the fire station) between 1.50 a...nd 2.50pm on Friday 31st. BYO coffee, chairs and other needs. In case of rain, the event will be postponed.

24.01.2022 Each year to celebrate a Mary Feast - Feast of the Assumption (15th Aug) we ask each student or family to send in a punnet of flowers to plant out the garden in front of Church. We do this to honour Mary., our patron Saint. We will do this again this Friday. This year we won't ask parents to join us due to COVID-19 restrictions but will do it in groups/classes. It always looks absolutely amazing and students love to be involved. We are hoping we can still get a big response this year. You can send in punnets anytime this week- might serve as a good reminder to others! Thanks in advance!
