Studenst enjoying the games and activities organised by our SRC students.
Students at OLA celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. The day started with a liturgy, led by Year 1, to celebrate St Patrick and remember all the work that he did leading to the development of Catholic Schools.
At lunchtime, the SRC and Captains put on lots of fun and games for the whole school to enjoy. They did a great job with everyone having a fantastic time. Children competed against each other in running races, 3-legged races and dance competitions. We had some up-coming models participate in the green-themed fashion parade, as well as many great artists compete in the drawing competition. It was a great afternoon with music and prizes.
Happy St Patrick's Day everyone.
A special mention goes to Jada Scoulou in Year 3 who had the closest guess in the lolly guessing competition, with a guess of 131 and there were 133 lollies in the jar. The children showed great sportsmanship, cheering each other on in all activities, which was great to see. It was wonderful to see all the children wearing green to celebrate - thank you parents. All proceeds of the day went to Project Compassion.

Transitioning smoothly into ‘big school’: What parents need to know
The first day of Kindergarten! It’s a milestone filled with excitement, pride and maybe a few nerves (for both you and your child!). Starting “big school” marks the beginning of a whole new adventure, and with a little preparation, you can help make those first weeks calm, confident and full of smiles.

Last night marked the final chapter of our Year 6 students’ primary school journey as we celebrated their Graduation Mass. Together we prayed and gave thanks for the guidance of their parents, OLA staff, and God throughout their seven years at primary school. We also acknowledged the achievements of students who received special awards, before finishing with a touching moment- our Year 6 students forming a guard of honour for their parents. Thank you to the Year 6 teachers, Miss Grima, and all the staff involved in this special celebration. We wish our graduates many more days filled with faith, fun, and learning as they begin their high school adventure.

Yesterday, we celebrated our Year 6 students finishing their primary school journey. It was such a special moment as the whole school, together with parents, formed a guard of honour through the grounds, cheering them on as they walked proudly for the last time as OLA students. We are so proud of their achievements, their growth, and the wonderful memories they’ve created here. As they step into High School, we send them off with love, encouragement, and the reminder that they will always be part of our OLA family.
