Dear Parents, Students and Community Members,
This morning sixty dads and grandads enjoyed a Fathers’ Day breakfast
prepared by our hard working P&F volunteers. It was a really enjoyable
morning of community and appreciation of the important role fathers
have in their families and in our school. A feature of all that we do at
OLC is the way that the children are all included This year we had
something like eighty five children present. As always, the behaviour
and engagement of the children in a largely unstructured time was
exceptional.
A special thanks to Nadia Murphy, Ben Huxtable and Anna
Sidebotham who were the leaders and coordinators of a big team of
volunteers.

Our Lady of the Cape Primary School is a community where each child is
valued as an individual and nurtured spiritually, by many hearts working
together as one voice to fulfil their overall potential.
Many Hearts, One Voice
1 September 2017
When I reflect on the fantastic Mother’s Day earlier in the year alongside today, I can’t help but
be impressed and appreciative of the strong community that is present at all levels in our school.
Family Camp at Donnelly River
Whilst speaking of community building, everyone should have received an information sheet and
registration form for the Family Camp, happening on the weekend of 13 – 15th October. There is
a box for registrations at receptions, so act promptly as the available accommodation will fill
quickly.
Faction Sports
Please refer to the messages in recent newsletters and the separate specific communications sent
out regarding the sports carnival.
It has been an incredibly busy time as we prepare for the production at the same time as the
sports carnival. I would like to acknowledge the significant extra work load for the staff involved
in preparing these wonderful opportunities for the children.
P&F Meeting
With everyone in our community so busy and involved in helping for the production, Fathers’ Day
and school sports, we have decided, in conjunction with the P&F Executive, that the P&F meeting
scheduled for next Tuesday 5th will be postponed until further notice.
Little Mermaid
Make sure you secure your tickets for one of the performances next week
and round up your friends. It’s a big call, but I doubt you will have the
opportunity to witness a production of this quality in a primary school in
many locations in the state, so don’t miss the opportunity. Good luck and
best wishes to everyone involved.
Kind Regards and God Bless,
Des Wilkie
Principal

CATHOLIC COMMUNITY CORNER YEAR 2M CLASS MASS
On Wednesday Mrs. Murphy’s class walked to church to join in the weekly
parish mass. The class was particularly interested in seeing the signs and
symbols involved in the Liturgy of the Eucharist, which is the second half of
the mass after the Liturgy of the Word. It was lovely to read the following
comments from Fr. Ian in the parish Bulletin:
“On Wednesday we had the great joy of having our little Year 2’s at Mass.
They were a delight and showed an attentiveness well beyond their years.
We welcome Fr. Ian back from holidays and look forward to another class
joining him for the mid-week parish mass soon.
YEAR 4 FIRST EUCHARIST
The Year 4 class has begun preparations for the Sacrament of Eucharist, or First Holy Communion.
The word 'communion' means to be united with; Catholics believe that in Holy Communion we are
united in a special way with Jesus Christ.
At his last supper, Jesus said of the bread that he shared among his followers, "Take and eat, this is
my body." When we receive Holy Communion, Catholics believe that in a mysterious way we are
sharing in the body and blood of Christ.
Please keep the Year 4 students in your prayers as they begin this next stage in their faith journey.
DID YOU KNOW?
Our school motto is “Many Hearts, One Voice”. Our motto reflects the diversity
and individuality of the many gifted and unique people that are part of our
school community. The heart is a major organ of the body and is essential for
life. The heart is also a universal symbol for love. Our motto identifies the need to respect
God Bless,
Amie Meyer, OLC RE Coordinator

This year's Book Week Dress Up Day has been postponed to Week
5 of Term 4 due to the current busy schedule and building works. The theme this year is "Escape to
Everywhere". The school holidays can be a great time to be creative and get organised with a

Sticker sheets can be dropped into the collection box here at school, which is
located outside the front office, if you do not have a sticker sheet that is fine just
pop the stickers straight into the box. Thank you for your support
