OLA celebrates St Patrick's Day

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.

Last week, OLA students and staff took part in our vibrant sock mufti for Catholic Mission's Socktober. It was a delight to see the school get into the spirit throughout the week, with the activities led by our Faith in Action Team during lunchtime for each year group. It is always a pleasure to see our community work together to spread the love of Christ. Thank you to all of our families who donated. Thank you for your generosity. To date, we have raised over $1,000 that will provide better educational facilities for the people of Malawi. It is wonderful to see our community helping those less fortunate!
