Dear Parents,
As we anticipate the commencement of Term 1 on Wednesday, January 31, 2024, this marks my final communication before the start of the school year. Thank you for your participation in our transition program. We look forward to formally welcoming your family into the OLOL community. For those already part of our school, it brings joy to witness the children who have been part of the OLOL environment for the past five years proudly wearing their uniforms and officially becoming part of the school.
Each new Prep intake infuses a refreshing energy into the school, and the upcoming year's intake promises just that!
This newsletter encompasses important information, including dates for your first term diary, class lists, and assigned teachers, next year's Wednesday Assessment Timetable, term dates for the entire year, instructions for downloading the school app, and school closure days. The digital format ensures easy access for future reference.
My final message is one of peace and hope. May God bless you and your loved ones, keeping you safe throughout the holiday period. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas.
Warm regards,
Adrian
