Kindergarten Visit Taronga Zoo

Time for a photo with a gorilla.

Recently 84 very excited Kindergarten students and 13 brave parent helpers went to Taronga Zoo as a part of their learning for the unit ‘What’s Alive’.

We had a glorious sunny day that allowed us to explore the zoo to its full capacity. We had clear views of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, along with many of the city buildings.

We enjoyed the seal show and the bird show as well as many exciting Zookeeper talks such as the reptiles and the gorillas. We did our best to see everyone’s favourite animals. The Meerkats were certainly a hit!

At the end of the day, we all scrambled back on to the bus for a nice long and restful trip home - with many little angels falling asleep on the way home.

A huge ‘Thank You’ to all of the people who helped out to organise and help the day run smoothly.

Our Athletics Carnival today was a fantastic day of smiles, teamwork, and true OLA sportsmanship. The weather held out beautifully, giving our amazing athletes the perfect chance to shine. A huge thank you to Mrs Batten, our wonderful parent helpers, our dedicated teachers, the Marian students who assisted, and all the parents who came along to cheer from the sidelines. And a big congratulations to the Parent Relay team, which took out this year’s annual parent‑teacher‑student relay. What a great day!
