What an incredible Olympics we have experienced. The day after the Feast of Australia’s own saint, St Mary McKillop we’ hope to show some’re excited to celebrate Aussie Spirit at OLM with a Green and Gold Mufti Day. This event supports the Charitable Works Fund, which contributes to vital ministries including seminaries, Catholic Care, Aboriginal Catholic Ministry, prison chaplaincy and other significant acts of mercy.

For the Feast of the Assumption, students were asked to specify their preference for Mass at OLF Caringbah or St Aloysius, they have been notified of their selection and they will need to meet in Munro Park for St Aloysius or at OLF at 8:40 am on Thursday 15 August. They will then return to school by bus after the Mass, in time for Period 3. Details are on the Compass event. 

Mercy Day preparations are underway, with homerooms preparing stalls involving food, drinks or fun activities. Once again we will be cashless on the day, so students will bring in their cash for tokens in an envelope with their name, Homeroom and the amount clearly written to Student Services. In order to manage all of the transactions, the schedule below outlines when students are to bring in their cash. Note that card transactions can take place in Student Services in the designated week.  Last year, most students brought in around $15- $20 for the day to purchase lunch, drinks and participate in the raffles, skill activities and games.  A sausage sizzle and juice will be provided for every student.

OLM Students are invited to participate in a Youth and Seniors Parish Evening, an excellent opportunity to connect with young people and engage in outreach to senior citizens. The event will feature fun, games, food, prayer and adoration. It will take place at DLS Caringbah Hall and OLF Church, Caringbah, on Friday, August 30, from 5.30pm to 8.30pm.
