On Thursday, 25th of July, OLMC celebrated NAIDOC week as a school community.
Julie and Josh, leaders from the Jarara Indigenous Team led the day, beginning with a smoking ceremony to cleanse our environment and promote wellbeing for semester two. Students were absolutely captivated with the ceremony, as were teachers and family members.
They then shared Indigenous culture and history with all our grades through artifacts, language, stories, movement and art. Some of the topics students explored were tools & technologies, songlines, symbolism and dreamings, The Stolen Generation, reconciliation and NAIDOC.
We would like to sincerely thank the Jarara Indigenous Team for providing our community with such a wonderful experience and look forward to working in partnership with them in the near future.

Today our OLMC Kindy 2025 Playgroup was back in swing with a focus on; 1. Introducing ourselves using our name 2. Acknowledging when others introduce themselves 3. Raising our hand before we speak, and only speaking if the teacher calls our name. 4. Packing away our area and helping our friends to pack up their area before moving to the floor 5. Walking with a partner in a straight line 6. Recognising our family members and raising our hand to notify the teacher BEFORE moving to our waiting family members. We are having a great time at playgroup and itβs wonderful to see, that even in a very short time, how our children are progressing.

It is during this time of year that the sacrament of creation is out in full bloom. All of creation reveals God's nature in some way and, therefore, has its own integrity and relationship with God. As human beings, we are made in the imago Dei (image of God), this affirms our unique dignity and moral responsibility to cultivate and care for the community of creation.

Did you knowβ¦. All Saints Day arose out of the Christian tradition of celebrating the martyrdom of saints on the anniversary of their martyrdom. When martyrdoms increased during the persecutions of the late Roman Empire, local dioceses instituted a common feast day in order to ensure that all martyrs, known and unknown, were properly honored. All Saints Day is celebrated on November 1.
