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.

Recently, our Year 6 scientists have been busy investigating forces in action! Students have been exploring how push, pull, friction, and gravity affect the movement of objects through hands‑on experiments. There has been plenty of curiosity, teamwork, and great discussion as they have been testing predictions and observing what really happens. Well done, Year 6 scientists- keep exploring!

What an exciting day at Our Lady of the Angels, as the Sydney Kings visited Stage 3! We were fortunate to welcome Sydney Kings players Bul Kuol and Keli Leaupepe, who spoke to our students about following their dreams, doing what they love, and never giving up. The message was simple but powerful- keep working hard, stay true to yourself, and believe in what’s possible. A huge thank you to the Sydney Kings for inspiring our kids today. Good luck in the semi‑finals this Wednesday- OLA is cheering for you!

Last Thursday, our students gathered for one of our favourite traditions, in honour of Catholic Schools Week- Rug Reading. There’s something so joyful about spreading out across the playground, sharing stories, and celebrating the simple pleasure of getting lost in a good book. A huge thank you to the families who joined us. It was lovely seeing families join in- it made the moment feel extra special for our little readers. At OLA, we know that we 'Read to Succeed'- and it’s even more powerful when the whole OLA family is part of the journey!
