On Tuesday, August 2, Our Lady of the Angels Primary chose the school feast day to launch a new behaviour policy - Positive Behaviour Support for Learning.
PBS4L is a program which recognises positive behaviours of students and acknowledges them for doing the right thing. Teachers find that with a focus on positive behaviour, less time is spent on managing discipline issues which, in turn, allows more time for learning. This fosters positive interactions between all members of the school community.
Our Lady of the Angels’ PBS4L program revolves around a new ‘ANGEL’ award system. Students exhibiting positive behaviour are recognised by receiving an Angel card designed by fellow students. Seven students were recognised for their winning designs. “Students know that their positive behaviours link to the three school rules - respect for self, others and the environment.
They understand that positive behaviour is exhibited everywhere – not only at school but also in the community and on the sporting field,” said Mrs Schroder, Learning Support Teacher. Keep a look out and see if you can ‘spot an Angel’ exhibiting positive behaviour in the Rouse Hill area.
The school would like to acknowledge the support received from the CEDP in the execution of this project, in particular, Anoushka Houseman, from the Behaviour Team.

We wrapped up a busy week with something truly special this afternoon- a live performance by Alyssa Delpopolo, current semi-finalist on The Voice! Alyssa wowed us with her beautiful vocals, answered thoughtful questions from our students, and shared powerful messages about chasing dreams and overcoming fear. Her words and music lit up the assembly- and the cheers, posters, and proud smiles said it all! Some of the most magical moments were when Alyssa joined our school choir for a beautiful song, and her cousin in Kindergarten proudly presented her with a special gift on behalf of our school. Thank you to Alyssa and her family for visiting us, and to Mr Cauchi for making it all happen. Thank you also to all of the family members who joined us for this special event. We’re cheering Alyssa on for her semi-final this weekend and beyond- our school community is behind you all the way! Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese

On Wednesday, our Year 2 students were captivated by an exciting visit from Starr’s Planetarium. Inside the incredible inflatable dome, the children explored the wonders of the day and night skies, learning about the movement of the Earth, the changing positions of the Sun and Moon, and why we experience different seasons. The experience sparked their curiosity and deepened their understanding of the world beyond our atmosphere. It was a truly out-of-this-world learning adventure!
