Studenst enjoying the games and activities organised by our SRC students.
Students at OLA celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. The day started with a liturgy, led by Year 1, to celebrate St Patrick and remember all the work that he did leading to the development of Catholic Schools.
At lunchtime, the SRC and Captains put on lots of fun and games for the whole school to enjoy. They did a great job with everyone having a fantastic time. Children competed against each other in running races, 3-legged races and dance competitions. We had some up-coming models participate in the green-themed fashion parade, as well as many great artists compete in the drawing competition. It was a great afternoon with music and prizes.
Happy St Patrick's Day everyone.
A special mention goes to Jada Scoulou in Year 3 who had the closest guess in the lolly guessing competition, with a guess of 131 and there were 133 lollies in the jar. The children showed great sportsmanship, cheering each other on in all activities, which was great to see. It was wonderful to see all the children wearing green to celebrate - thank you parents. All proceeds of the day went to Project Compassion.

Today, on Good Friday, we pause to remember the incredible love and sacrifice shown by Jesus on the cross. This day invites us to slow down, reflect, and hold onto the hope, forgiveness, and faith that Good Friday reminds us of. As we think about the meaning of the cross, may we find a sense of peace and gratitude in our hearts. Wishing our OLA community a blessed and meaningful Good Friday.

Year 2 has been exploring how to take care of creation, learning that our world is a gift from God and that we have a responsibility to protect and respect the environment. As part of this learning, students became eco‑artists, using recycled materials to create artworks inspired by God’s landscapes. This hands‑on project helped them think about reusing resources, reducing waste, and caring for the earth in meaningful, creative ways.

Year 1 have been busy investigating the differences between living and non‑living things, and they put their learning into action by designing and making their very own bird feeders. Students thought carefully about what birds need to survive and created feeders that would help meet those needs in our school environment. It was wonderful to see so many creative ideas come to life, and even more special to have siblings visit to see the showcase. Thank you to everyone who supported the students with ideas, equipment, encouragement, and enthusiasm!

Students planned, tested, and created their own objects to investigate how contact and non‑contact forces affect motion, while also using scientific diagrams and data to communicate their ideas. They loved sharing their work at last week's showcase. A big thank you to all the parents who came along, your support made the learning feel even more special!!
