The big news for Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Elmore is to welcome Craig Simpson as principal for 2022 to replace Mrs Trewick.

Families will have an opportunity to meet Mr Simpson before the end of the school year.
Mr Simpson is not unfamiliar to OLSH as he has worked with teachers and learners across a number of years.
Maintaining the health and wellbeing of staff, students and families in the community has been a priority for OLSH Elmore, and this has been made possible by the few events that were able to occur between COVID-19 lockdowns.
The OLSH learners are grateful for the events they have been able to participate in during their time at school.
A rite of passage for Years 3 to 6 is the division football and netball carnivals.
While the Winter Sports Day was not able to happen, the Campaspe Cluster principals were able to put teams together to enable football and netball teams to participate in SSV Division competition in Bendigo.
The football team won three out of five games on the day, and the netball team won the ‘Other Girls’ section undefeated.
As the netball co-ordinator for this event for almost 16 years noted, this has never happened before!
Coming together as a small school cluster ensures that the opportunities available to learners of larger schools are enjoyed by our combined teams.
We must thank the principals of the schools for making sure teachers were available to provide supervision and coaching for both days.
The Foundation learners were finally able to celebrate 100 days of being smarter.
Between lockdowns, learners celebrated 100 days of learning at school.
It was at this time we celebrated the contribution of our families to the learning of all students.
They all dressed up like they were 100 years old and completed many collaborative learning activities that celebrated learning together.

Best of all, they had lots of laughs with teachers and learners role playing being 100 — it seems that they predict that at the age of 100 we will be hard of hearing, have poor sight, move rather slowly and be bent over.
Only days before the current lockdown, learners and staff were able to connect with the larger OLSH family.
Predicting the future: Ageing learners and teachers for 100 days of school.

OLSH Bentleigh spent a day at a retreat in Elmore and made use of the Chevalier Centre. Senior learners spent the day working with and learning more about the OLSH story and tradition.
They were shown country hospitality with morning tea from the Elmore Bakery and a sausage sizzle lunch.
Enrolments for 2022 are open and families are encouraged to make contact. What transition looks like after this lockdown is yet to be finalised. Keep an eye out for information about learning at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart School.
