Zac, Natasha, Nicholas, Ashton and Jasmyn created a shelter for humans.
OLA students in Year 4 went to Lane Cove National Park to support the current geography unit under study.
Through participating in a range of activities, we learnt a lot about plants and native Australian animals (flora and fauna). These activities included bug hunts and building a mini aboriginal or animal’s habitat or a national park.
We went on lots of walks and by the end of the day we were very tired. On the bus ride back to school lots of us had our eyes closed and were asleep. We had an exciting day and learnt a lot.
Sienna, Jackson, Zac, Austin, Alisa and Lara created an environment for a possum.
Afterwards, there was some time on the play equipment which was a lot of fun. Thanks go to teachers Mrs Cannavo and Miss Grima, the parent helpers, Wendy and Nicole our tour guides.

Last week our Year 6 FIAT team had a wonderful day at Nagle College for LIFTED Jnr, a diocesan faith‑formation experience run by Catholic Youth Parramatta. With the theme “Finding Purpose with Pentecost”, guest speaker Lou Daniels invited students to reflect on two big questions: What is our purpose? and How does the Holy Spirit help us live it out? Through singing, dancing, prayer, and rich discussion, our students showed maturity, enthusiasm, and a genuine openness to faith and leadership. They represented our school with pride and kindness. A warm thank you to our parents for supporting transport and making this valuable experience possible. Thank you also to Mrs Hodgess and Mrs Aspinal for accompanying our students.

On Friday, we gathered as a community to honour and celebrate our OLA mums. Year 1 led a beautiful liturgy and prayer, reminding us of the gift of motherhood. Our assembly that followed was filled with heartfelt performances- joyful songs, our Senior Dance Group, a moving Year 3 item inspired by Billy Joel, an Irish blessing for our mums, the choir, and the students performing the Nutbush! Thank you, Mr Lee, for coordinating this celebration for us. Thank you to our wonderful teachers for preparing students and welcoming families into classrooms, to our P&F for the lovely morning tea, and to all who joined us. May God bless all our OLA mums for the love they give so generously.
