NATIONAL VOCATIONS AWARENESS WEEK 2–9 AUGUST This Sunday is the beginning of Vocations Week. Today we are invited to explore our identity and mission as Christians: “The Christian should be a luminous person; one who brings light, who always gives off light! A light that is not his, but a gift from God, a gift from Jesus.” Pope Francis.

From 10am - 3pm on Sunday 8 November the entire OLR school community invites you to spend the day at the OLR Christmas Fair. There will be • 7 Great Carnival Rides • Hot Food • Sweet Treats • Games • Face Painting • Entertainment • Devonshire Tea • Great Prizes • Christmas Crafts • Raffles. All funds raised will be used to update the reading resources used in the classrooms at OLR.

If you are interested in supporting the school in the lead-up to the Christmas Fair we would welcome your help. There are many ways you can get involved in The Christmas Fair. If you own a business, join other local businesses and supporters and become a sponsor. If you enjoy baking, join our group of Yr 3 parents and share your Christmas cake/pudding recipes.
