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 Monday, four of our Year 5 FIAT students, Cooper, Ashton, Emma and Lucy, attended the CSPD launch of Socktober at St John XXIII Catholic College. They learnt that this year’s Catholic Mission Socktober aims to raise awareness and money for communities in Zambia. The students attended a liturgy for World Mission Month 2025. Our Catholic Mission theme this year is “Missionaries of Hope: Among All Peoples”. They learnt how precious maize (corn) and water are to the people of Zambia and prayed for those who walk alongside the rural communities as they learn to be self-sufficient. The students reflected on the 5 basic needs to have a full life and how fortunate we are to have all of these. The rest of the Faith in Action team looks forward to learning from these student representatives and then hosting our Socktober events in Week 2 next term.

Year 1 had a fantastic time on Friday working on a special design and make project where they created their very own park designs. This exciting task linked beautifully to their Geography unit on the features of places, helping them apply their learning in a creative and practical way. After designing, students wrote speeches to explain their ideas and will be presenting them to the class on Monday. We are very much looking forward to welcoming parents into the classroom on Monday afternoon to showcase the students’ wonderful work and celebrate their achievements together

Today, our Kindergarten students shone brightly at assembly, sharing their learning with smiles and creativity. In Religion, they reminded us of the importance of loving one another through a beautiful song. Their Reader’s Theatre performance of 'Dear Farm' brought narratives to life, showing just how far their reading and storytelling skills have come. We were also treated to an amazing display of farm-themed artwork and another song about their knowledge of living things. A huge thank you to our dedicated teachers for guiding these young learners. It's hard to believe they only started school 8 months ago and have already made so much growth in their learning. Thank you also to the parents who joined us in celebrating their achievements- your support makes these moments very special!

Today, our school was filled with courage, confidence, and powerful voices as students took part in the Voices of OLA Public Speaking Competition finals. After weeks of preparing, practicing, and presenting to their peers and teachers, two students from each class in Years 1-5 were selected to represent in today’s final round. We are so proud of every student who participated- your use of gestures, eye contact, thoughtful questions, and audience engagement was outstanding. Public speaking is not easy, and you’ve all achieved something truly special. A huge congratulations to our grade champions from Years 1-6: Allira, Eli, Charlotte, Archer, and Lihini- what an incredible effort! Well done also to our Kindergarten class winners- Shaun, Katarina, and Sophia, who presented in front of their classmates and teachers. Thank you to our families who came to support the students today and to Mrs Kennedy, our Literacy Coordinator, for guiding and inspiring our young speakers. Well done, OLA!!
