Shanae, Holly, Natasha and Charlotte prior to their event.
Over forty eager students represented Our Lady of Angels at the Diocesan Cross Country.
What started as a chilly morning turned into a glorious and warm day at the Sydney Motorsport Park at Eastern Creek.
Every student represented the school with great pride. Every student on the day showed tremendous determination and perseverance and set personal best records. Most of our students who have represented OLA in previous years at the Diocesan Cross Country improved their ranking, beating their previous years’ achievements.
The top 8 students in each level move onto the next stage. We would like to acknowledge four of our students who will represent OLA/Parramatta Diocese at the NSW Catholic Schools Cross Country in June. Congratulations to the following students who will be going through to the next stage:-
Sebastian M and Thomas D in Year 5 and Seronique T and Ella S in Year 6. Jessie E and Jade R in Year 5 are reserves.
The OLA cheer squad needs to be commended, as after the students finished their race, they commented on how this helped with their determination to push themselves to complete the race and strive to go to the next stage.
A BIG thank you to all the parents for their support during training and on the day. A special thank you to Mrs Eldred, Mrs Burt, Mrs Cutuk and Mr Sievwright.

Today we celebrate and appreciate Mr Calabria on Principal's Day- a leader who brings warmth, care and joy to our OLA community every single day. He ensures our school is a place where everyone feels safe, happy and supported, and where each day is filled with faith, fun and learning. At our assembly, the students shared a beautiful acrostic poem they had written to show just how thankful they are for him. Their words reflected the positivity he brings to our school. Mr Calabria knows our students, supports our teachers, welcomes our families, and helps make OLA a place where everyone belongs. On behalf of our students, teachers, parents, and the whole OLA community, we thank him for who he is and for all he does. We are truly grateful!

The children loved all the hands‑on experiences, meeting the animals, watching the farm shows, and of course, the biggest highlight… the tractor ride! A huge thank you to our wonderful teachers for organising it and our parent helpers for joining us and making the day so special.

Our Kindergarten students kicked off their new Religious Education unit on celebrations and community by hosting a birthday party for their teachers’ special teddies! They played fun party games, danced together, and shared lots of laughs. They finished the celebration by enjoying lunch with their Year 6 buddies. It was a special way to explore how celebrations bring people together, create a sense of belonging and strengthen community.

Year 1 had the most wonderful day last week, exploring the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney. Filled with excitement, our students wandered through the gardens, discovering all the natural and built features around them. Through hands‑on activities and a guided walk, they explored different spaces, created simple maps, and learned how we can all care for our environment. It was a fun‑filled day of learning, laughter and adventure- and a fantastic way to bring our Geography unit to life. So many happy memories made! Thank you to the Year 1 teachers for organising it, and to the parent helpers for joining us!

Our Infants and Primary teachers had an absolute blast on Friday, just like the students, as they took on the Inflatable Obstacle Course- and yes, the healthy competition was very real. Lots of laughs, lots of cheering, and plenty of impressive moves from our staff. OLA spirit at its best!

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!

Our OLA Feast Day celebrations on Friday were a blast! After a beautiful Mass, our students jumped straight into an afternoon of ZING Activ activities- games, teamwork, laughter, and, of course, the crowd favourite, the inflatable obstacle course! Thank you to Miss Grima for her fantastic organisation and to all our teachers who joined in the fun and helped make the day so special. We are very lucky to be at OLA!
