Year 6 Leadership Day

27 Feb 2019

Leadership day 2019 was all about relationship building challenges, improving leadership skills, learning how to work as a team and learning important information such as:

“All leaders don't wear badges, anyone can be a leader no matter who you are or how old you are, and leaders create more leaders not more followers.”

Our year six classes had an awesome time participating in interesting activities. Some of the activities we participated in were:

  • A water moving exercise where you had to scoop up with your bare hands and pass it down a line of people into another bucket.
  • A balloon tower task where we had to cooperate to make the largest tower possible.
  • Design puzzle pieces to show we are all part of one community.
  • Working together to move a ball only using string. (Patrick leach 6W)

Last Tuesday Year Six was lucky enough to have participated in a Leadership Day, where we spent the whole day learning about leadership. The teachers were kind enough to let us wear mufti and treat us a devilicious pizza lunch. We all did different kinds of activities during the day and finished off with a different type of reflection in our small groups. The activities were based on leadership, trust and teamwork. Thank you to all the teachers who helped out. (Mia-Bella Trifiro 6W)

On Tuesday 12th of February, Year Six had their Leadership Day. Leadership Day is about learning to have the qualities of a leader and to work cooperatively. There were five activities; the balloon tower building with Mrs La Rocca, the blindfold course with Mr Cauchi teaching us to trust one another, the water passing activity with Mrs Byrne teaching us to work as a team and problem solve, the spider web and cup building challenge with Miss Digwood, the puzzle piece activity with Mr Lee and the reflection at the end of the day. All of the activities required teamwork, collaboration and cooperation. We all had a lot of fun. (Zac Nicholls 6G)

When Yr 6 had our leadership day, we learned that to be a good leader, you have to have some special qualities. Some include communication, trust and teamwork. The most common quality was communication because we had to use it to tell each other what we should do. Trust is when you have to be able to rely on someone to tell you things, like to activity we did when we were blindfolded and had to trust someone to tell us what to do. Teamwork is when you have to work as a group to accomplish something. Leadership day was a great experience and learning opportunity of Yr 6!

On Thursday, we held our final Kindergarten Orientation, and what a fun morning it was! Our soon‑to‑be Kindies stayed for longer, played outside, enjoyed eating morning tea together, and even received a special certificate to mark the occasion. We can’t wait to welcome these bright, enthusiastic learners into our classrooms and our OLA family next year!

Recently, our students shone brightly at The Parramatta Gymnastics Competition, showcasing impressive skill, teamwork, and determination. Amelie, Amber, and Bianca were awarded a GOLD medal for their outstanding routines and performance, while Janice, Elena, Nevenka, Emma M, Sarah, Keeley, Emma H, Freya, Hamish, Emma A, Akira, Eleora, Charlotte, and Mia were awarded SILVER medals. The OLA team placed second overall, an incredible result against strong competition. Even more special, our school was awarded the spirit trophy, recognising sportsmanship, encouragement, and positivity throughout the day, an honour voted on by judges and event convenors. We are extremely proud of every student who represented our school with pride, resilience, and enthusiasm. Many thanks to Miss Whelan, Miss Marchant, Mrs Batten and all involved in providing this opportunity for the children.

This week, Year Five participated in a Leadership Incursion as part of our Leadership Week. Cameron from Explore Discover Act facilitated the day with a series of dynamic activities, engaging songs, and thought-provoking discussions that encouraged students to reflect deeply on the qualities of effective leadership. Throughout the session, students explored the idea that leadership is not limited to formal roles but is demonstrated through everyday actions, such as showing responsibility, communicating respectfully, supporting others, and making positive choices. The incursion supported students in developing a clearer understanding of what it means to be a “GREAT” leader and reinforced the belief that every individual has the capacity to lead. This experience provided valuable preparation for the upcoming 2026 Leadership Speeches and strengthened students’ confidence in their potential to contribute to their school community as leaders.

Our Kindergarten students had an exciting incursion this week exploring the world of push & pull forces, motion, and energy! The show brought science to life- starting with Sir Isaac Newton’s famous Laws of Motion and moving on to friction, spinning, gravity, and balance. The children were captivated as they learned how science explains the way things move in our everyday world. Thank you to Kaleidoscope Science Incursions and our Kindergarten teachers for organising such a fun learning experience!

On Friday, our school community gathered for a beautiful Advent liturgy to mark the beginning of the Advent season. It was a time of prayer, song, and reflection as we prepared our hearts for the journey towards Christmas. Advent reminds us to wait with hope, to live with joy, and to share peace with one another.
