Lumen Christ Catholic College will be holding their Learning Journey on Wednesday 7 September. This is a chance to visit the classroom with your child to see some of the great work they have been doing this year.
Due to current restrictions this will need to be a ticketed event. When you go to your child's class you will be able to book a time to visit. The times are 5 minutes apart. This does not mean that you will only be allocated 5 minutes but it will ensure that the arrival of visitors will be spaced out and we will not have too many people in the classrooms at any one time. Bookings will be made through SENTRAL. Bookings will be open from 8:00am Monday 29 August and will close Friday 2 September.
When: Wednesday, 7 September 3.45pm to 6:00pm
Where: LCCC Classrooms
Booking: On Sentral from Monday, 29 August to Friday, 2 September.
If you have any questions, please contact 6495 8888 or your classroom teacher.
Help us become a Sustainable School!
As part of our Season of Creation celebrations we have teamed up with Zero Co to promote the elimination of single use plastics in everyday beauty and cleaning products. The Season of Creation goes from 1 September to 4 October to encourage us to think how we can better care for our common home by responding to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.
For every product sold via our Sustainable Schools page, the school can earn up to $40, AND, Zero Co pulls 1kg of plastic out of the ocean for every $10 raised. The campaign goes until 4 October, so please jump on it today and help raise much needed funds for the school, as well as cleaning up our oceans in the process. Money raised will go towards improving our College waste management processes.

A special Message from the Community Council
We would like to wish all of our Fathers and Grandfathers a very Happy Father’s Day this Sunday!
While we are unable to mark this occasion with you onsite this term due to the current restrictions, we hope to welcome you in Term 4 for a special celebration. Watch this space!
The College has identified an outbreak of headlice, which are common in school-aged children, and are the most adaptable of creatures.
Whilst your child may not be affected, head lice are also extremely contagious.
In order to ensure the problem is solved as quickly as possible, we are encouraging parents to check their child tonight and if lice are detected to carry out a head lice treatment prior to sending their child back school.
We suggest you look for the following symptoms or signs which would indicate the presence of head lice:
* Child scratching his/her head excessively;
* Fine black powder on bed linen/pillows;
* Nits, the lice eggs, cream to coffee coloured specks stuck near the hair roots; and
* The lice themselves are small white to greyish parasites about as big as a pinhead.
If you notice any of the above signs or need further advice please contact your local pharmacist.
If your child has head lice – tell anyone who has had contact with them and ask them to check their family for head lice.
It is also timely to remind parent/guardians that in accordance with College policy, all long hair should be tied back.
For more information on lice please visit the NSW Department of Education website by using the link tab or clicking here.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance.

All materials are kept in a ‘close loop’ right along the value chain all the way to consumption.

Have you thought about teaching?
Master of Teaching Information Night
Wednesday 21st September, 5.30-6.30pm
UOW Bega, 176 Auckland St Bega
- You’ll be meeting a need in our schools – there is strong demand for new teachers. Having people with knowledge, skills, a supportive mindset and the passion to inspire learning working with our children and young people is crucial to our future.
- Make a positive impact. Inspire and support children and young people as they grow into the people they will be. (Think about a teacher who inspired you. You could be that person for others).
- Become part of a community of practice that supports one another. At UOW Bega, those supportive relationships are built from your first class throughout the degree.
- You will develop transferable skills in communication, teamwork, interpersonal relations, leadership, problem solving and organisation
- Teaching is a challenging and rewarding career, with scope for creativity and fun alongside the challenges. Nothing beats the satisfaction of seeing the ‘lightbulb moments’ and making a difference in others’ lives.
If you have a degree, come and find out whether you might be eligible to study the Master of Teaching course (Primary or Secondary) at UOW Bega. You’ll hear from Master of Teaching Associate Program Director, Sue Duchesne to learn more about the program, and hear from current and former students about their experience.
If you don’t have an undergraduate degree yet, you can talk to bega@uow.edu.au about starting your journey towards becoming a teacher with a Bachelor of Arts or Commerce degree.
