OLR News Term 4 Week 10 Christmas Edition
Merry Christmas
Principal's Update
Dear Parents and Carers,
As the school year comes to an end, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the many blessings and growth that we have experienced at our school. This year has been unlike any other, but we have remained focused on providing a safe and nurturing environment for our students.
One of the highlights of this year has been the resilience and adaptability of our students and staff demonstrated despite the challenges and uncertainty surrounding the building project. Our focus has remained strong and committed to providing a high-quality Catholic education to all our students. Thank you to all our students, families and staff for your hard work and dedication.
As we look ahead to the next school year, I am filled with hope and excitement for all that is to come. I am confident that our school community will continue to grow and thrive in the years to come, building on our already strong foundation.
Christmas is a very special time of year, filled with joy and love. It is a time when families and friends come together to celebrate and make lasting memories. However, amidst all the festivities and excitement, it is important to remember the true meaning of Christmas - the birth of Jesus Christ.
As we gather around the Christmas tree, exchange gifts, and feast on delicious food, let us take a moment to reflect on the love and sacrifice of Jesus.
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincerest gratitude for you, the parents, and carers for your unwavering support throughout this school year. Your dedication, involvement, and commitment to your child's education have not gone unnoticed.
As we near the end of the year, I am filled with pride and admiration for the progress that your children have made. You have played an essential role in their growth, and I am grateful for your partnership.
Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas!
May God bless you all.
Yvette Owens
