Dear Parents,
This will be my final communication with you before we all begin on Monday 31st January 2022. Thank you for your participation in our transition program. I know we are really looking forward to you and your family joining the OLOL community. For those already part of our school it will be great to see those children who have been toddlers kicking around OLOL for the past five years finally in uniform and part of the real thing.
Every new Prep intake is a breath of fresh air into the school and next year’s intake promises to be just that!
In this final Prep newsletter, we cover many things; Dates for your first term diary, Class lists and allocated teachers, next year's Wednesday Assessment Timetable, Term Dates for the year, Downloading the school app instructions, and School Closure days for the year. It's wonderful that this is digital so that when you forget something you can just go back to this newsletter and find it.
Other than that, my final message is one of peace and hope. May God bless you and yours and keep you safe over the holiday period. Happy Christmas to you all.
Regards,
Francine
