Students in Year One participated in Super Sandwich Day.
The students have been learning about healthy eating and celebrations in class and used all of their knowledge to create a super healthy sandwich or wrap.
We were lucky to have such amazing support from the Year One parents in providing ingredients and preparing the food. The music room resembled a Subway shop, where students moved around the amongst a range of breads, spreads, cold meats and endless vegetables.
They were required to use at least three ingredients in their sandwich and to try something new. The Year One students did this really well and created tasty and healthy sandwiches or wraps for their lunch.
As a part of the Celebrations unit, they have been learning about the importance of sharing a meal.
At lunchtime, they each received a bottle of water, popcorn, a banana and their super sandwich and enjoyed it with their whole grade.
This was a great day and learning experience for all of the students and we extend our appreciation to everyone who donated their time or foods.

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!
