This week I have been walking around the classrooms and having a look at all the fantastic work that is happening in Arts and Culture this term. I have included some photos of our students at work preparing for the College Christmas Carols, as well as some gorgeous photos of our Year 3/4 class busily completing art work. This process has required the students to receive feedback from a fellow student before using colours to complete their work. This peer review process is very important for students to use as part of the Visible Learning process. It also allows students to engage with not only their own creative path, but those of their fellow students in a safe and constructive environment.

This week also sees us say goodbye to Mr Caine Wager who will be taking up a post in Kingaroy. Caine lives in Nanango so this will be a much shorter trip to work for him. As a creative community, we thank Mr Wager for his hard work since arriving at Our Lady. He jumped straight in to the College Musical, the Delicious and Delightful Festival as well as College prayer gatherings and masses. We will certainly miss him next week.

The Music classes and College Early Years and Senior Years Choir will continue to prepare for the College Christmas carols. I have included some photos and hopefully some short videos as of next week. I am hoping that the videos will give the College community a small insight to the fabulous night ahead as well as the Christmas pageant the following week.
