Solomon bottle feeding the little lamb.
Tahnia enjoyed touching the little lamb.
Kindergarten had a special visit from the Golden Ridge Animal Farm to launch us into our new Science and Technology unit “Environments”.
We met lots of special friends that we were able to hold, pat and even feed! We were lucky enough to meet rabbits, guinea pigs, ducklings, lambs and goats. All students had a turn at bottle feeding the lambs and goats, which they absolutely loved.
Kindergarten learnt lots of new information about caring for farm animals and had such a great time! We cannot wait to learn more this term.

Congratulations to our talented OLA Debating Team and this week's speakers, Janice, Lily, Olivia, and Zara, on an impressive win! In their latest debate against St John XXIII Primary School, our team took the affirmative side of the topic “Water is more precious than gold.” The opposition put forward a strong case, but thanks to OLA’s outstanding preparation, persuasive arguments, and confident speaking skills, our debaters secured a win! We’re so proud of their teamwork and commitment to excellence. Thank you to Mrs McBrien for all of the hard work she always puts into our debating teams. Stay tuned for more exciting news when the team competes against Mary Immaculate Primary School in Week 7!

Today, we joyfully celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of Mary- the moment our Blessed Mother was taken body and soul into Heaven. As a school community, we gathered in prayer and reflection, giving thanks for Mary’s faith, her humble “Yes” to God, and her motherly care for us all. May her example inspire us to walk in faith, live with love, and place our trust in God’s divine plan.

Today we kicked off our Book Week celebrations in the most inspiring way - with a special visit from talented author and illustrator, Aura Parker! Students were captivated as Aura shared one of her delightful stories, bringing characters to life with her expressive reading. Afterwards, she guided the children through a step-by-step drawing activity, encouraging creativity and showing them that anyone can be an illustrator with a little practice! From giggles during the story to proud smiles holding up their finished artwork, it was a magical morning of storytelling, imagination, and learning. What a fantastic start to our Book Week celebrations at OLA!
