What a fantastic day was had by all at our annual swimming carnival held at the Hawkesbury Oasis Centre at Windsor.
It was great to see each of the students dressed in their team's colour and got into the spirit of the day.
Students participated well during each event and encouraged their friends to do their best throughout the day. Each house colour cheered on their own team with lots of encouragement, as their teammates swam to the finish line. It was a great day for the students to challenge their physical abilities and teamwork.
Thank you to the P & F and parent volunteers who helped out throughout the day and it was wonderful to see the parents and grandparents there supporting their children. The enthusiasm in the cheering gave the carnival a community feel and lots of school spirit.
Thank you to our 2016 House colour captains for the effort they put into designing signs and organising cheers for their team on the day.
Congratulation to all our students who received a ribbon for their efforts and for all those students who achieved a personal best or tried something new, well done! This year saw many records broken. A special mention goes to Jesse Eldred who broke six school swimming records.
Congratulations to Mrs Byrne for organising another wonderful and successful carnival.

Last night marked the final chapter of our Year 6 students’ primary school journey as we celebrated their Graduation Mass. Together we prayed and gave thanks for the guidance of their parents, OLA staff, and God throughout their seven years at primary school. We also acknowledged the achievements of students who received special awards, before finishing with a touching moment- our Year 6 students forming a guard of honour for their parents. Thank you to the Year 6 teachers, Miss Grima, and all the staff involved in this special celebration. We wish our graduates many more days filled with faith, fun, and learning as they begin their high school adventure.

Yesterday, we celebrated our Year 6 students finishing their primary school journey. It was such a special moment as the whole school, together with parents, formed a guard of honour through the grounds, cheering them on as they walked proudly for the last time as OLA students. We are so proud of their achievements, their growth, and the wonderful memories they’ve created here. As they step into High School, we send them off with love, encouragement, and the reminder that they will always be part of our OLA family.

Last week, our Year 6 and Kindergarten students enjoyed a final catch‑up with their buddies, sharing smiles, memories, and exchanging special gifts. Having buddies is such a special part of life at OLA, creating friendships, role models, and moments the children will treasure long after the year ends!

In Science this term, Kindergarten has been learning all about forces. Last week, the children used recycled materials to design and make a functioning ramp. The children then used round objects to test whether their ramp would successfully allow the item to roll down. They had so much fun creating their own little masterpieces!
