Marcus, Charlie and Sebastian showing off their wonderful hairstyle for Crazy Hair Day.
Recently students and teachers went crazy with their hair styles and colours to raise money for the Diocesan Works Fund.
During playtime, the SRC students organised a range of fun games and activities for the students to participate in. They had a wonderful time and enjoyed playing dodge-ball, obstacle courses, oz tag, soccer and football shoot-outs.
Lots of people lined up for getting an arrowroot biscuit with some topping on them. All the S.R.C members put a lot of thought and effort into these activities.
Everyone had such crazy and out there hairstyles for the day. Students raise $579 for the DWF. Thank you to all the mums and dads for their support and donations. Congratulations to Mrs Byrne and the SRC team for a great fundraiser and day.

This week, we acknowledged some of our amazing Mathematicians at OLA. This year, we have had students from Years 2 to 6 participating in Maths Games, Maths Explorers, and Maths Olympiad. Each week, they have had to challenge themselves to solve maths problems, and they also participated in a number of contests throughout the year. Well done to all of these students who were all presented with a certificate, and to those students who also received patches and badges for finishing in the top 25%, top 10%, or for being especially chosen by their teachers for their persistence throughout the year. An extra special congratulations to Adrian in Year 5 and Carlos in Year 4, who finished as equal 'Highest Achievers' at OLA for 2025! A big thank you to Mrs McBrien, Mrs Cordukes, and Ms Swain who helped facilitate these groups this year, to allow our students to have these wonderful opportunities!

On Wednesday, our Faith In Action Team took part in a special day of faith formation and learning about social justice, hosted by CSPD and Jesuit Social Services (JSS). They visited Holy Family Primary School, Emerton, where they heard more about the incredible work JSS does to support the Mount Druitt community. The highlight of the day was touring the Ignite Food Store, where they saw firsthand how the donations from our Parish during Term 1 are making a real difference. A big thank you to Mrs Nicholls for providing transport and supporting our students on this meaningful experience.

Year 2 enjoyed a fun coding incursion this week. They discovered how to give instructions to a computer, fix little mistakes, and create their own simple programs. It was great to see their creativity and teamwork as they solved problems and shared ideas. Coding helps students learn to think step‑by‑step, be resilient, and use their imagination in new ways. Thank you to our Year 2 teachers for organising this! We’re so proud of how confidently they took on the challenge!

On Tuesday, we very excitedly welcomed our Kindergarten 2026 students for their second orientation session. It gave the students another chance to explore, connect, and feel at home here at OLA. We can't wait to welcome them all for their final session on Thursday!
