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!

Our FIAT (Faith in Action Team) has been busy learning how to crochet this term. They’re creating colourful squares that will be stitched together into a blanket to support those in our community who need a little extra warmth and care. We’re so proud of their kindness in action.

What a wonderful start to the week at OLA! On Monday, all of our students were captivated by Brainstorm Productions’ live wellbeing performance, The Human Race. Through humour, teamwork and powerful storytelling, the show explored courage, honesty, staying calm, online safety, inclusion and looking after one another. This was a fantastic way to build empathy and resilience across our school community. Thank you to Mrs Cordukes for organising this!
