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!

    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!
