Congratulations and thanks again to all the students who have now returned their books. We still have 143 students who need to find their long-overdue books and bring them in. Please search your rooms, book shelves etc at home to see where any Library books or Classroom Readers might be hiding! Thank you.

Even though we will not be borrowing, it is important for the children to keep reading. All those lovely books at home on the shelves, books for Christmas, and don’t forget the local Library – if you are you not already members of the Campbelltown Library, it is free to join.

Chess Tournament: Sadly because of the Covid regulations we have been unable to hold our Annual Chess Tournament this year. We hope to be able to resume our weekly Chess games next year, finalising with our tournament in Term 4 2022.

Digital Citizenship: A digital citizen is anyone who uses digital tools such as computers, mobile phones, or the internet in their work, school or for fun.  Just like citizens of a city have to adopt rules and standards of behaviour in order to live together, those of us in the digital world should do the same.  Our school rules – Be safe, Be respectful, Be responsible – apply to our online community as well as our school community.  As constant users of technology both at home and at school we need to be aware of our responsibilities as Digital Citizens. Don’t forget to take a look at our Oliver home page - oliver.dow.catholic.edu.au/miev, and check out the links to the Australian Government Cyber Safety site.

  “The interactive nature of many of the new media facilitates more

dynamic forms of learning and communication, thereby contributing

to social progress" and as parents and educators we should... "encourage all

people of good will who are active in the emerging environment of

digital communication to commit themselves to promoting a culture

of respect, dialogue and friendship.”

Pope Benedict XVI, 2008
