25.01.2022 Visual Art at home has produced some outstanding results from #OLPSSurreyHills students! This term there has been a lot of colour as well as the introduction of new techniques, such as the Monochromatic Colour Technique. The technique involves the use of a single hue to create a variety of tones, tints, and shades. Using this technique, the students were asked to create a self-portrait. Each year level was given a single colour to work with for their self-portrait and the res...ults blew us away! We're so proud of the amazing creativity, imagination and constantly inspiring work the children are producing #VirtualArtGallery #VirtualArt #RemoteLearning #MonochromaticArt #RemoteLearning2020 #OLPSSurreyHills #SurreyHills #VisualArt #StayStrong #CreateFromHome #Colour #MonochromaticArtists #KidsArtwork #KidsArtClasses #KidsArt #ArtWithKids #ArtSchool #BeingCreative #SelfPortrait #PrimarySchool #MelbourneSchools #CatholicPrimarySchool #WholeSchoolArtProject

21.01.2022 Congratulations to all our wonderful preps who have completed 100 days of school 2020 has challenged us in ways none of us were expecting - especially those starting school for the first time. Despite this, these amazing children have shown great resilience, adaptability, and growth. Remote learning has been just a bump in the road for these preps! Already they have built skills across maths, literacy, writing, public speaking, and technology. And their confidence contin...ues to grow across Performing Arts, Mandarin, Sport, and Visual Arts! To our Prep 2020 class - we are all so proud of you, well done on reaching this milestone. You're all superstars! #100DaysOfSchool #100DaysOfPrep #100DaysOfPrep2020 #RemoteLearning #LearningAtHome #Congratulations #Prep2020 #Resilience #Adaptability #Growth #Confidence #BuildingSkillsForLife #Mathematics #Literacy #Writing #PublicSpeaking #PerformingArts #VisualArts #Technology #PublicSpeaking #Mandarin #Languages #LOTE #PhysicalEducation #Sport #Milestone #OLPSSurreyHills #SurreyHills

20.01.2022 As a @tennisvic partnership school, all our #OLPSSurreyHills Foundation students were thrilled to receive their very own tennis racquets as part of the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots Racquet Roadshow initiative! This initiative to introduce more kids to tennis comes as reports continued to be released about declining levels of activity in children. These racquets will help get kids moving at school, home and in the community. There are so many skills that kids can develop at a young a...ge by playing tennis, regardless of whether that’s on the court, in their backyard or even in their lounge room said Australian tennis legend Todd Woodbridge. Our Lady's offers tennis lessons to all students as part of an extra-curricular program. Lessons are run after school at the #OLPS tennis courts. #TheCourtIsCalling #HotShots #RacquetRoadshow #TennisAustralia #WeLoveTennis

15.01.2022 Today is #WorldTeachersDay. A day to celebrate our wonderful teachers, their achievements, and their voice. 2020 has certainly thrown a few curve balls our way, but we are so proud of each and every educator for their resilience and dedication to providing quality education to children both here at #OLPSSurreyHills, and across the world. "In this crisis, teachers have shown, as they have done so often, great leadership and innovation in ensuring that #LearningNeverStops, tha...t no learner is left behind. Around the world, they have worked individually and collectively to find solutions and create new learning environments for their students to allow education to continue. Their role advising on school reopening plans and supporting students with the return to school is just as important. Joint statement on the occasion of World Teachers’ Day 2020 from: Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO Guy Ryder, Director-General, International Labour Organization Henrietta H.

13.01.2022 Throughout term three, #OLPSSurreyHills students have been focusing on the question, ‘How can we restore harmony?' as part of our inquiry unit. Discovering the importance of harmony in our lives, living a balanced life, particularly in relation to the current situation we are in with #COVID19 and Melbourne's current lockdown has provided a great base for further questions. Such as: Relationships have an important role in contributing to a feeling of balance in our lives. H...ow are we looking after our relationships in this time of lockdown? How can we restore harmony to our relationships with people when they are broken? How can we nurture a balanced prayer life? Not always asking for things, but being grateful and praising as well. How can meditation help us to restore harmony in our lives? We are called to be stewards of creation. How can we restore harmony to the environment and particularly oceans? How can gratitude and praise impact our relationships and create harmony? How do the sacraments help us to restore harmony in our lives? What would Jesus say about the harmony in our environment? #InquiryTopic #InquiryStudies #HowCanWeRestoreHarmony #ReligiousEducation #Inquiry #LivingABalancedLife #Lockdown #MelbourneLockdown #MelbourneLockdown2020 #RemoteLearning2020 #Relationships #Harmony #Grateful #BeingGrateful #RestoreHarmony #Environment #Oceans #Sacraments #HarmonyInOurEnvironment #OLPS #SurreyHills #RE #CatholicPrimarySchool #PrimarySchool #MelbournePrimarySchools

08.01.2022 Welcome back to the classroom! The day has finally arrived... after weeks and weeks of remote learning, we can’t wait to have all our amazing students back in the classroom! From the buzz of a busy classroom to the laughter from the playground, the quiet of meditation through to the end of day excitement - today is going to be a great day.... Our number one priority will be spending time focusing on the mental health and wellness of our students, making sure they feel settled and familiar with the staff, fellow students, and grounds once again - 2020 has been full of a lot of change, and nurturing these children back into this new #CovidNormal is something we feel privileged to be a part of. #BackToSchool #FaceToFaceLearning #ReturnToTheClassroom #MelbournePrimarySchools #CatholicPrimarySchools #OLPSSurreyHills #MentalHealthMatters

06.01.2022 Today is national R U OK? Day A reminder to check in with those around you, especially given the challenges we are all facing in Victoria at the moment. Ask the question, listen to the answer, encourage action, and continue to check in with your loved ones, friends, and family. You never know the difference one simple question might have. At #OLPSSurreyHills we continue to be acutely aware of the wellbeing needs of our students during these challenging times. Parents may f...ind children feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, they could be tired or withdrawn, irritable, fearful, unmotivated, moody, have a loss of appetite, need more comfort, have trouble concentrating, or even feeling physically unwell. Ask, listen, encourage, and don't forget to reach out whenever you need to. #RUOK #RUOKDay #RUOKDay2020 #SpreadKindness #KindnessMatters #MakeADifference #JustAsk #MentalHealth #Awareness #MentalHeathAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #Wellbeing #WellbeingWarrior #SocialAndEmotionalSkills #TheresMoreToSay #AskTheQuestion #Listen #Encourage #ItsOkNotToBeOk #StayConnected #TheresMoreToSay #PrimarySchool #MelbournePrimarySchools #CatholicSchools #OLPS #SurreyHills #CheckIn #Support R U OK Day

01.01.2022 A special poem for all our Super Dad's this Father's Day My Superhero, My Dad My Dad and I have special powers I bet you didn't know... And when we are together Our super powers grow. I have the gift of flight To soar and leap and bound I can hover in the sky And never touch the ground. I am growing stronger too With each passing hour I can hover in the sky With my superpower. I am growing stronger too With each passing hour I can even save the day With my super power. Dad's arms help me reach The things I can not touch His love and guidance carry me I look up to him so much. And even when I'm all grown up I know that I'll be glad That I had my own superhero My best friend, my Dad. Wishing all the fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, uncles and father figures an amazing Father's Day today. #Fathersday #FathersDay2020 #Dads #Dad #Daddy #Papa #Sons #Son #Daughters #Daughter #Grandfather #Grandpa #StepFather #Family #OLPSSurreyHills #OLPS #CatholicSchool #PrimarySchool #CatholicPrimarySchool #SurreyHills #Love #Support #Community #Superhero #Superheros #SuperheroDad #MyDad #WeLoveOurDads
