Cross Country

10 year old boys prior to their race.

OLA held its Primary Cross Country at Russell Reserve. It was great to see all the children dressed to support their house colour and the captains ready to lead their house in the cheering.

There was evidence of good sportsmanship on the day, especially encouragement for the runners on the track. We were very lucky with the weather, as the rain held off until all the children were back at school.

I would like to thank all the teachers for their support and assistance on the day to help the Cross Country run smoothly. Once again thank you to all the parents willing to assist on these days. Without volunteers, it is really hard to organize sporting events so I appreciate all the parents who helped on the track and came to cheer on the children. The first 6 runners in each age group in boys and girls are eligible to attend the Diocesan Cross Country held at Eastern Creek next term.

I would like to congratulate the following children, who will represent Our Lady of Angels at the Diocesan Cross Country.

Sebastian M, Zane B, Isaac S, Marc S, Cody T, Thomas L, Natasha E, Ailbhe G, Olivia H, Jasmyn R, Shanae M, Alana L, Jesse E, Rory M, Marc Z, Lucas L, Anthony C, Cooper B, Seronique T, Jade R, Claudia C, Montana B, Daniella L, Amelia D, Ashton S, William A, Javier S, Jai T, Blake T, Nicholas S, Ella S, Emily O, Isabelle D, Elise E, Kalani N, Nicholas C, Domenico L, Jordan V, Sebastian C, Alex B, Michael B, Patricia C, Jordyn E, Angelina C, Ana B and Ivana K.

10 year old girls at the finish line. Well done girls!

This morning, we welcomed our grandparents and special visitors for a wonderful Grandparents’ Day celebration at OLA. Thank you to Year 2 for leading us in a beautiful liturgy, and to our students who shone throughout the assembly, sharing their talents through singing, dancing, music, and presentations. We also loved welcoming our guests into the classrooms after enjoying a lovely morning tea. A huge thank you to our staff, students, P&F, and parent volunteers for making the morning so special. We were delighted to hear the many kind words from our visitors about the warm community spirit and quality Catholic education that make OLA such a special place!

On Friday, our Kindergarten students proudly presented their very first Whole School Assembly, and what a wonderful showcase it was! Our students confidently shared their learning in Religion, Science, and Creative Arts, giving everyone a glimpse into the exciting learning taking place in Kindergarten. Their performance of The Cranky Bear was a highlight of the assembly, bringing plenty of smiles and laughter to the audience with their enthusiasm and expression. We are so proud of the confidence, creativity and teamwork our Kindergarten students demonstrated as they performed in front of the whole school community. For many of them, this was their first experience presenting at a whole school event, making it an extra special milestone. A huge thank you to our Kindergarten teachers for the time, dedication, and preparation that went into making the assembly such a success, and thank you to our families who joined us to celebrate and support our students. Well done, Kindergarten!
