Eoin and Ella sit among the sea of waving hands for #dosomethinggreat Day
Our Lady of the Angels community supported #Dosomethinggreat Day by making it a day of focus to go beyond the normal and do something extra special in some way – for someone or the world in general.
Year 5 teacher, Samantha Pepin, drove the event. “Students were given a paper hand on which to write what they did. These were stuck onto paddle stick and placed into one of our grassed areas. Collectively they made a sea of hands waving in the wind.”
“It was lovely to see this sight knowing that each waving represented an extra act of kindness by members of our community,” said Mrs La Rocca, principal. “We hope this will provide the impetus for raising awareness to ‘wave a hand’ more readily”.

Last week, our OLA community honoured St Joseph’s Feast Day with beautiful liturgies held in each classroom. Our students reflected on St Joseph’s quiet strength, his faithfulness, and his example of humility and service. It was a special opportunity for them to pause, pray, and learn more about the man who cared for Jesus with such love and devotion. Thank you to our teachers for preparing these meaningful liturgies, and to our students for participating so reverently. St Joseph continues to inspire us to listen, trust, and follow God with open hearts.

Last week, our Kindergarten students became little scientists as they explored what different temperatures can feel like. Through hands‑on investigation, they touched, compared and described warm, cool, and cold objects- building their vocabulary, curiosity, and confidence as young learners. It was wonderful to see their faces light up as they made discoveries and shared their ideas with one another. We love watching our youngest students learn through play, exploration, and wonder.

On Friday, our wonderful Year 1 students proudly presented their Term 1 learning at our first whole school assembly for 2026- and what a joy it was. We loved hearing them share their Religion learning about Jesus as their friend, their Science investigations into living and non‑living things, and their impressive Creative Arts work. Their reading, speaking, and presenting were absolutely outstanding, and we are so proud of the confidence they showed. A huge thank you to our dedicated Year 1 teachers for preparing the students so beautifully, and to the families who joined us to celebrate their learning. What a fantastic start to the year for our young, little presenters.

Yesterday, our school community came together to celebrate Harmony Day at Our Lady of the Angels. It was a beautiful reminder that everyone belongs, and that our differences make us stronger. Through our Gospel values, we teach our students the importance of inclusiveness, respect, and welcoming others with open hearts. Jesus showed love and acceptance to every person He encountered, and we continue to follow His example in the way we learn, play, and care for one another. What a wonderful day to celebrate the rich diversity within our OLA family.
