Miss Pepin handing out a special Walk to School sticker.
Walk Safely to School Day (WSTSD) is an annual, national event when all Primary School children are encouraged to walk and commute safely to school.
This community event aims to promote Road Safety, Health, Public Transport and the Environment.
Some of our participants crossing the road for Walk to School Day.
The support shown by the parents was amazing. They parked 5-10minutes away from the school and walked the rest of the way to the school gates. We even had families walk to school. Greeting the students and parents at the gates were some Year Six students, Miss Pepin and Miss D’Mello who handed out a special sticker for participating.
Some parents downloaded the 'Walk Safely App'. Those parents registered and had their child's participation recorded on the national database.

Recently we had 1 girls' team and 2 boys' teams participate in the Stage 3 Soccer Gala Day at Jamison Park, Penrith. It was a very successful day for all 3 teams, who all finished 2nd in their pool. All 3 teams played exceptional soccer and had lots of fun scoring awesome goals along the way. A very big thank you to the parents who volunteered as coaches- Mr McKee, Mr and Mrs Shnoudi, and Mr and Mrs Newman. Thank you also to the many parents who supported our teams during the day, and to Mr Cauchi and Mrs Boatfield for being there to support our teams!

Our Year 2 students enjoyed a wonderful incursion last week with Koori Konnections, deepening their understanding of Aboriginal cultures, history and connection to Country. Through fun, hands‑on and interactive activities, students learned about: - Aboriginal ways of caring for the natural environment - Traditional knowledge and sustainability - Stories, culture and history shared by First Nations people It was a rich and engaging experience that helped bring their HSIE learning to life and strengthened their appreciation for Australia’s First Peoples!

Our Year 4 students had a fantastic day at the Australian National Maritime Museum on Friday as part of their HSIE learning. They explored real vessels, interactive exhibits and hands‑on displays that helped them understand how people have travelled, traded and connected across oceans throughout history. Students loved stepping aboard historic ships, discovering stories of explorers and migrants, and learning how maritime technology has changed over time. It was a wonderful opportunity to bring their HSIE unit to life and deepen their understanding of Australia’s past. A big thank you to our teachers for organising this, and to our parent helpers for supporting such a memorable learning experience!

Congratulations to all the Voice of Youth finalists who presented their speeches this week at the grade final. Your hard work and dedication were on display for all to appreciate. Thank you to the parents and family members of the finalists who attended to support their children, and to the Year 6 teachers for your organisation and preparation of the children. The quality of the speeches was incredibly high, and the variety of topics was very interesting to listen to.

Yesterday our Kinder students celebrated 100 days of school- 100 days of faith, fun, and learning together at OLA! The day was filled with creative activities based around the number 100- counting, building, crafting, and laughing their way through this special milestone. We have loved watching our littlest learners grow in confidence, curiosity, and friendship. A huge thank you to our amazing Kinder teachers for planning such a joyful celebration, and to our wonderful parent helpers for their support throughout the day. We are so proud of the littlest members of our OLA family. We are grateful for the joy, energy, and smiles our Kinder students bring to our OLA community every single day!

What a special few days we’ve had celebrating our OLA Feast Day. Yesterday we were so proud of our captains, Cameron and Sarah, who led the procession so beautifully after Mass. Our Band, Choir and Senior Dance Crew also shone at the Fiesta, sharing their talents and representing OLA with pride. The celebrations ended with a stunning fireworks display that lit up the sky- enjoyed not just by our school and Parish community, but by families all around the neighbourhood. What a joyful way to celebrate OLA!
