OLOR Parish Mass

 

Dear Parents of Year 6,

 

Your child is warmly invited to participate at the OLOR Parish Mass on Sunday 28^th May at 11:00am. This is a wonderful opportunity for the Year 6 children and their families to share in the prayer life of our wider parish family. All Year 6 students are encouraged to be at this special Mass and we ask that parents please stay to support their child.

 

Year 6 students also have the opportunity to take a leading role in the Mass. They may be involved in the first and second readings, the Universal Prayer, Offertory, greeting families at the door, collecting and altar serving. Please return the slip below by Tuesday 23^rd May to confirm whether you and your child will be able to attend and/or volunteer.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Mrs Ros Earl

Religious Education Co-ordinator

Here at OLOR, we believe that meaningful feedback can greatly enhance learning and improve student achievement. Successful feedback for students allows them to identify their strengths along with areas for development and then plan, with their teacher, the next step in their learning.

 

An example of a feedback process used at OLOR is from John Hattie, a renowned researcher in education:

The above process creates a positive impact on student learning, because guidance is constantly provided during learning tasks.  Feedback needs to be specific to both acknowledge a child’s effort and/or improvement and give direction for their future endeavours.

 

Here at OLOR, we use the following feedback techniques:

 

• Verbal feedback
• Peer assessment where students receive positive or helpful advice from their peers
• Self assessment where teachers guide students to analyse their work to help develop their skills
• Data walls in the classroom to track student’s growth
• 1:1 conferencing
• Written feedback (marking books)
• Electronic feedback
• Small group feedback

 

As you can see written or electronic annotations, while important, are only one aspect of our feedback process.  Therefore, not every piece of written or online work will have teacher comments provided.

If you need an epipen or asthma spray please ensure that it is packed in your day pack.

Make sure you have your recess and lunch (for day one only ) packed in your day pack.

You can bring a pillow if you wish, but try to pack it so as not to have too much to carry.

Emergency Contact is 0409 296 638. Please only ring if there is an emergency, we will be posting things on Instagram (olorkellyville) so there is no need to ring to find out if they are okay. We will contact you if there are any issues.

See you bright an early in the morning….children are to be there no later than 6:10 please as we must get away by 6:30 to keep our schedule.
