Camp

This year, 9A, 9B, 9C, and 9D all went to camp in Term 2. It was a wonderful experience and we had so many amazing and memorable experiences with our friends and peers. There were so many new connections made with our classmates and this camp will definitely be remembered. Everyone contributed with the cooking as well as cleaning and we all played board games and were involved with all of the fun and different activities. At this camp, we all had to learn how to be more independent, as we all brought our own food, as well as cooked, and cleaned. The activities were such a great experience, as there were not many camp instructors, so it meant that it was up to us and the teachers for some activities. The overall camp experience was amazing, because it taught us all the value of independence and spending quality time with our friends and peers.

9E, 9F, 9G and 9H are excited for camp next week and have been busy preparing for it over the past couple of weeks.

Into the Woods Jnr

This term, many Year 9 students had the exciting opportunity to take part in the College’s production of Into the Woods Jnr. After months of rehearsals, singing practices and choreography sessions, the cast and crew are now in their final week of preparation. The energy has been high and everyone involved has shown real dedication, creativity and teamwork. With opening night this Friday, the anticipation is building and we are all so proud of the hard work that has gone into bringing this musical to life.

Real Industry Job Interviews (RIJI)

Taking part in RIJI was a wonderful experience and opportunity for all Year 9 students. It was a great way to plan and organise our resumes for future casual employment and to experience the type of questions that we will be asked in actual interviews. We hope that we represented OLMC with pride. We were pleased with our performance and effort. So many Year 9 students have already received casual jobs, so the experience was definitely worth it.

We have loved Horizon this year and we can’t believe we only have 3 more weeks of Year 9. We are now focusing on assessments and tests. We are already showing the Christmas spirit by decorating our pastoral rooms. There is a healthy competitive drive to have the best decorated room.

We would like to thank all of our Year 9 pastoral teachers for their guidance, support and leadership this year. Year 9 has been a fantastic year.
