As you are aware Judith Weir is on leave and I am Acting Principal in her absence.

Welcome to Term 2 and we hope that you all had a great break and a wonderful Easter spent with family and friends. We also hope that it was a time to rest and rejuvenate, ready for all that is ahead. Easter brings with it the hope of the Resurrection. As we embrace our own personal hopes, we are also called to reflect on how we share our hope. We remember those who are struggling to find hope, particularly in the light of recent events in Australia and overseas and pray that they find peace.

Term 2 always presents a busy time for students in the OLMC calendar. The Student Leaders will hold the annual Dare2Donate event. The Athletics Carnival and Senior Production will also happen during the term, adding to the already busy OLMC. Towards the end of the term there will be the College activities week which includes, Year 7 and 8 Camps, Year 9 experiences beyond the classroom, Year 12 Retreat and Year 11 and 10 Exams.

The Parents’ Association will hold the annual Mother’s Day event, always so well attended and a fitting celebration of the women in the lives of our students.

The Parent/Teacher/Student Interview Evenings provide families with valuable information to support your child. I hope it was an opportunity to affirm the successes experienced by your child and to also plan for addressing any challenges with you.

We hope Term 2 is a successful term for all our students as they challenge themselves to reach new goals and experience all that OLMC has to offer.
