Footy throwing was a hit with the boys and some girls.
The feast day of our patron, Our Lady of the Angels, is a special day in our school calendar.
The day before, the school captains, sports captains and SRC representatives organised, set up and ran a variety of activities for the OLA students. Mrs Byrne would like to congratulate them on their effort and organisation.
The students had a great time participating in the activities and there were lots of excited and happy children. We were blessed with great weather and a fun atmosphere.
On the 2nd of August, the actual feast date, the community gathered to begin the celebrations with . Mass followed by a procession of Our Lady and the Blessed Sacrament and concluded with a Benediction. With the liturgical events over, Fr Warren declared the Fiesta open. The day, which was well attended by parishioners and families and school staff, concluded with spectacular fireworks. We are already looking forward to next year!
Here are some girls dancing using with a hola hoop.

On Thursday, Year 5 students participated in a Colonial Day. Students were asked to dress up as convicts and settlers who were important in the growth of Australia's Colonies in the late 1700’s and 1800’s. Students had fantastic opportunities in learning about The First Fleet, Early settlements, the Indigenous perspective of Early Colonisation and participating in Colonial Games. Thank you to Mrs Borg, Miss Grima, Mrs Grunsell, Mr Campbell and Mrs McBrien for the organisation of the day.

Last Friday, a group of Year 5 and Year 6 students participated in the second round of the Mark Taylor Shield Cricket Competition. Our opponents were Santa Sophia Catholic College, Box Hill. The students took part in a hard fought competition, finishing with a team total of 111. Unfortunately, we were defeated by our opponents, with Santa Sophia reaching the total in the 27th over. Well done to Flynn, top-scoring with 32 runs, as well as Ashvith with 27 runs. Also, well done to Ben for bowling figures of 3/5. Thank you to Mr Campbell, and the parents and families who assisted on the day!

Our Kindergarten students had an exciting incursion this week with Drama Toolbox- and what a performance it was! Through imaginative play, costumes, and movement, students explored characters, emotions, and storytelling in the most magical way. The incursion gave our Kindergarten students the chance to shine, build confidence, and express themselves through drama. Thank you to the wonderful facilitators for bringing the joy of theatre to life, and to our teachers for supporting such a fun experience!
