Hello and welcome back to Term 3! We hope the holidays were restful and filled with joy. Term 2 was a very busy term with Dare2Donate and the launch of OLMC’s very first Spirit Week. Our teachers dressed up for their dares and the Taylor Swift-themed mega dare saw many iconic outfits throughout the day! The Rock Paper Scissors Competition also concluded with the grand final round happening live during the lunchtime event. Congratulations to the winner! Thank you to all those who donated across the week. All funds were provided to McAuley for Women and Children to help support those in vulnerable situations.
Term 3 is just as exciting with many events planned. We would also like to congratulate our new Year 7 Student Representative Council Captains, Stephanie and Chiara! Welcome to the team! The SRC will be organising activities for the National Day Against Bullying and Violence on Friday 16 August and R U OK day on Thursday 12 September. Our House Captains are preparing for House Arts on Wednesday 21 August and we would like to encourage as many of you as possible to sign up and share your talents. There will be prizes and House Points! The registration form is on SIMON. So, make sure to keep an eye out for the many activities planned around these days!
Later in the term on Thursday 19 September, we will also be celebrating Mercy Day, our annual school feast day! The day will start with Mass and we will come together as a community to have lunch and partake in the many activities, stalls and games, so make sure to purchase your tokens early! All money raised on Mercy Day is donated to Mercy Works.
