10 year old boys prior to their race.
OLA held its Primary Cross Country at Russell Reserve. It was great to see all the children dressed to support their house colour and the captains ready to lead their house in the cheering.
There was evidence of good sportsmanship on the day, especially encouragement for the runners on the track. We were very lucky with the weather, as the rain held off until all the children were back at school.
I would like to thank all the teachers for their support and assistance on the day to help the Cross Country run smoothly. Once again thank you to all the parents willing to assist on these days. Without volunteers, it is really hard to organize sporting events so I appreciate all the parents who helped on the track and came to cheer on the children. The first 6 runners in each age group in boys and girls are eligible to attend the Diocesan Cross Country held at Eastern Creek next term.
I would like to congratulate the following children, who will represent Our Lady of Angels at the Diocesan Cross Country.
Sebastian M, Zane B, Isaac S, Marc S, Cody T, Thomas L, Natasha E, Ailbhe G, Olivia H, Jasmyn R, Shanae M, Alana L, Jesse E, Rory M, Marc Z, Lucas L, Anthony C, Cooper B, Seronique T, Jade R, Claudia C, Montana B, Daniella L, Amelia D, Ashton S, William A, Javier S, Jai T, Blake T, Nicholas S, Ella S, Emily O, Isabelle D, Elise E, Kalani N, Nicholas C, Domenico L, Jordan V, Sebastian C, Alex B, Michael B, Patricia C, Jordyn E, Angelina C, Ana B and Ivana K.
10 year old girls at the finish line. Well done girls!

What a fantastic evening we had at our Kinder and New Families BBQ last night. It was such a success and a wonderful way to welcome our newest members into the OLA family. A huge thank you to our amazing P&F and parent helpers, our dedicated teachers, and our Year 6 school leaders who helped, played with the students, and made everyone feel so welcome. Events like this give us such a great opportunity to meet new families, connect, and enjoy time together as a community. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the night so special.

Today, our school community came together to mark the beginning of Lent with a reverent and meaningful Ash Wednesday Mass. It was a special time to pause, pray, and reflect as we received the ashes and were reminded of the call to grow in kindness, hope, and love. We are grateful to share these moments as a school family, supporting one another as we begin this Lenten journey together.

Our Kindergarten students have had a wonderful start to Big School. They’ve been learning about how special they are in Religion lessons, using hands‑on maths equipment to count and explore, making new friends on the playground, visiting the library, and spending time with their Year 6 buddies. To finish off the week, the children practised their fine‑motor skills by creating a special artwork for their families, showing just how much they love them “to pieces.” Their smiles said it all. We’re so proud of how confidently they’re settling in and embracing every part of school life!

Yesterday, some of our Stage 3 students took part in an exciting skills workshop with Joash Papalii and Kitione Kautoga from the Parramatta Eels as part of the @nrl Schools Blitz. The boys ran a session encouraging teamwork, wellbeing, and healthy habits, and our students were eager to learn from them. A highlight was the Q&A session, where students asked thoughtful questions about their footy journeys- their playing history, inspirations, and hopes for the future. The players were generous with their stories and advice, and the kids absolutely loved it. We’re so grateful for the visit. Thanks Joash, and Kitione, you brought great energy to OLA yesterday!

We can’t wait to see the ideas you bring to our school!

This term in Religious Education, Year 6 has been exploring the concept of Human Dignity- a precious gift from God that calls us to respect and honor the worth of every person. This week, their learning led them to reflect on how God invites us to love one another in the way of Christ each day. With this in mind, they chose tomorrow's upcoming Valentine’s Day- a day that celebrates love in our society- as a special opportunity to put their faith into action by showing kindness and care through their words and deeds!
