Prep and Year 1 students recently celebrated Albinism Awareness Day in support of their classmates Emerson and Lachlan, who both have Albinism. People with albinism do not produce the melanin pigment responsible for the colour of eyes, skin and hair. They also have vision difficulties. Their classmates added to their uniform for the day with rainbow coloured accessories. The rainbow coloured theme was chosen to represent the colour’s of Emerson’s cane. Thanks to Mrs Dellit for capturing lots of great photos from the day!
In very exciting news, a lot of Year 3 and 4 students have recently signed up to receive a leadership passport. This new leadership development opportunity has recently begun here at OLSCC. Any students from Year 3 and upward are eligible to begin the journey and all begin at Level 1 regardless of age. Each level has a range of tasks and events that students engage in, with feedback provided for each task. These involve public speaking events, service events, attendance at nominated College events and ‘above and beyond tasks’. There are a variety of items that can fall into these categories, with a noticeable commitment required. An example of this would be that participation in the College choir can be recognised as a public speaking event, but requires that the student has participated consistently for 3 or more consecutive terms. Students can only register for a leadership passport or be signed off on tasks by meeting with one of the Assistant Principals.
Some suggestions of tasks that may count towards the leadership passport include:
