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.

This week, we acknowledged some of our amazing Mathematicians at OLA. This year, we have had students from Years 2 to 6 participating in Maths Games, Maths Explorers, and Maths Olympiad. Each week, they have had to challenge themselves to solve maths problems, and they also participated in a number of contests throughout the year. Well done to all of these students who were all presented with a certificate, and to those students who also received patches and badges for finishing in the top 25%, top 10%, or for being especially chosen by their teachers for their persistence throughout the year. An extra special congratulations to Adrian in Year 5 and Carlos in Year 4, who finished as equal 'Highest Achievers' at OLA for 2025! A big thank you to Mrs McBrien, Mrs Cordukes, and Ms Swain who helped facilitate these groups this year, to allow our students to have these wonderful opportunities!

On Wednesday, our Faith In Action Team took part in a special day of faith formation and learning about social justice, hosted by CSPD and Jesuit Social Services (JSS). They visited Holy Family Primary School, Emerton, where they heard more about the incredible work JSS does to support the Mount Druitt community. The highlight of the day was touring the Ignite Food Store, where they saw firsthand how the donations from our Parish during Term 1 are making a real difference. A big thank you to Mrs Nicholls for providing transport and supporting our students on this meaningful experience.

Year 2 enjoyed a fun coding incursion this week. They discovered how to give instructions to a computer, fix little mistakes, and create their own simple programs. It was great to see their creativity and teamwork as they solved problems and shared ideas. Coding helps students learn to think step‑by‑step, be resilient, and use their imagination in new ways. Thank you to our Year 2 teachers for organising this! We’re so proud of how confidently they took on the challenge!

On Tuesday, we very excitedly welcomed our Kindergarten 2026 students for their second orientation session. It gave the students another chance to explore, connect, and feel at home here at OLA. We can't wait to welcome them all for their final session on Thursday!
