We are inviting them to present these during Week 8 this term to the whole school each morning from Tuesday to Friday. The children will be asked to nominate a day to present their case in the Hall from 9:00am to 9:30am. If you would like to attend, please talk to your child to pick a suitable day.

There will be a sausage sizzle dinner available and, from around 6:30pm, the children will entertain us in the hall with some carols they are preparing in their music classes. We might even host a visit from a jolly man in a red suit.

FIRST COMMUNION

On November 26 at 10:30am at Our Lady of Victories Church, several children will be finalising their faith initiation when they receive the Eucharist for the first time. It is a very special moment for these children and their families. We look forward to sharing the Eucharist at our school masses throughout their time at OLV. We wish the children all God's blessings and congratulations. All families are welcome to join us on this special day.

KINDER ORIENTATION

We had our second visit from our 2024 Kinders this week. Their parents were provided with some information from the Catholic Schools Eduation Officer for Early Learning, Bridie Stanger,  about our Successful Foundations Program whilst the children spent more time with their buddies who are doing a wonderful job at making our new ones feel safe and welcome.

Our next visit will be on 15 November  from 9:30am - 11:00am for the children only.
