Footy throwing was a hit with the boys and some girls.
The feast day of our patron, Our Lady of the Angels, is a special day in our school calendar.
The day before, the school captains, sports captains and SRC representatives organised, set up and ran a variety of activities for the OLA students. Mrs Byrne would like to congratulate them on their effort and organisation.
The students had a great time participating in the activities and there were lots of excited and happy children. We were blessed with great weather and a fun atmosphere.
On the 2nd of August, the actual feast date, the community gathered to begin the celebrations with . Mass followed by a procession of Our Lady and the Blessed Sacrament and concluded with a Benediction. With the liturgical events over, Fr Warren declared the Fiesta open. The day, which was well attended by parishioners and families and school staff, concluded with spectacular fireworks. We are already looking forward to next year!
Here are some girls dancing using with a hola hoop.

On Thursday, we held our final Kindergarten Orientation, and what a fun morning it was! Our soon‑to‑be Kindies stayed for longer, played outside, enjoyed eating morning tea together, and even received a special certificate to mark the occasion. We can’t wait to welcome these bright, enthusiastic learners into our classrooms and our OLA family next year!

This week, Year Five participated in a Leadership Incursion as part of our Leadership Week. Cameron from Explore Discover Act facilitated the day with a series of dynamic activities, engaging songs, and thought-provoking discussions that encouraged students to reflect deeply on the qualities of effective leadership. Throughout the session, students explored the idea that leadership is not limited to formal roles but is demonstrated through everyday actions, such as showing responsibility, communicating respectfully, supporting others, and making positive choices. The incursion supported students in developing a clearer understanding of what it means to be a “GREAT” leader and reinforced the belief that every individual has the capacity to lead. This experience provided valuable preparation for the upcoming 2026 Leadership Speeches and strengthened students’ confidence in their potential to contribute to their school community as leaders.

Our Kindergarten students had an exciting incursion this week exploring the world of push & pull forces, motion, and energy! The show brought science to life- starting with Sir Isaac Newton’s famous Laws of Motion and moving on to friction, spinning, gravity, and balance. The children were captivated as they learned how science explains the way things move in our everyday world. Thank you to Kaleidoscope Science Incursions and our Kindergarten teachers for organising such a fun learning experience!

On Friday, our school community gathered for a beautiful Advent liturgy to mark the beginning of the Advent season. It was a time of prayer, song, and reflection as we prepared our hearts for the journey towards Christmas. Advent reminds us to wait with hope, to live with joy, and to share peace with one another.
