OLA students gather to pray the Rosary.
On Monday, 13th October, the students of Our Lady of the Rosary celebrated Rosary Day.
All the school children, staff and some parents gathered in the shape of Rosary beads and prayed the Glorious Mysteries together. Each child received their own set of Rosary beads which were blessed by Fr Joby.
Our thanks go to Mr Baker for organising this day and to Fr Joby for leading us in prayer together. Remember to pray each day to God and Blessed Mary our Mother, in particular the Rosary, for your special intentions and God will provide.

Today we joyfully celebrated the beginning of Catholic Schools Week with a beautiful liturgy led by our Student Leaders. Reflecting on the Samaritan woman at the well in the Gospel of John, we were reminded that Jesus meets us in the ordinary moments of our lives and fills us with “living water” — hope, grace and renewal. It was a powerful reflection on our mission in Catholic education: to nurture faith-filled learning, inspire excellence, and empower every child to grow, thrive and live out the Gospel through faith, learning and service. A sincere thank you to Ms Grima for thoughtfully organising our celebration, and to our School Captains for leading and presenting the liturgy so reverently today.

On Friday, we gathered as a school community to officially welcome our newest OLA learners at a special Assembly. Each child was proudly named on stage, greeted with smiles and applause, and it was beautiful to see their confidence shining through. One of the highlights was hearing them begin to learn and sing our school song- a beautiful moment that marks the start of their journey at OLA. We are so excited to watch these students grow, learn, and thrive. Welcome to our OLA family- we’re so glad you’re here!

So many curious questions, big smiles, and memorable moments. A huge thank you to our Year 5 teachers and parent helpers for making the day run so smoothly.

As part of our Religion unit, "Why are people hungry?" the Year 4 students participated in a sandwich-making activity. The purpose of this activity was to share a meal as a grade from the making (breaking), to the eating. We reflected on the Eucharist and how it nourishes not only physically but spiritually.

Recently, our Year 4 students worked in small groups to collaborate on creating our grade's morning prayer. Students had previously written elements, and each had a voice in selecting which parts they wanted to be a part of the final prayer.
