The best-selling Captain Underpants books have continued to be popular at the school library as a result of the recent movie.
Students have also been enjoying our ‘spooky stories’ this term with the children borrowing these on library days.
In our Information Literacy lessons in Stage 1 we have been changing story endings and Kindys have been drawing comparative themes of stories.

🌈🏃♀️ COLOUR, CHAOS & A WHOLE LOT OF FUN! 🏃♂️🎨 Last week, our school was transformed into a rainbow of colour as students took part in our Colour Fun Run! There was running, laughing, dodging and plenty of colourful surprises along the way! Some students ran for the finish line, others ran straight towards the colour stations… and let’s just say the washing machines at home probably worked overtime! 🧺😂

🦎 Meet our newest enrolment… Pancake! 💙 Pancake is our resident blue-tongue lizard and, although we haven’t seen a school uniform yet, it has already mastered the morning arrival routine! Most mornings, Pancake can be found stretched out at the gate, soaking up the sunshine and keeping a close eye on students as they arrive. ☀️👀 Already a much-loved member of the OLN community, Pancake seems to have decided that the front gate is the perfect spot for a little morning people-watching. Welcome to OLN, Pancake — we’re so glad you’ve joined us! 💙🦎

It was a wonderful day of fun and connection, reminding us that together we can help make a positive difference in the lives of others. ⚽🧦❤️

Our schools are cracking the reading code
Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, it’s surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.
