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.

Kindergarten and Year 6 shared a very special moment this week. Kindergarten were learning that we are all made in the image of God- each of us unique, with our own similarities and differences, yet equally loved. Year 6 have also been exploring how God gives everyone different gifts, and why those gifts matter in our world. During our buddy visit, each student drew a portrait of their buddy. It was such a beautiful reminder of how our youngest and oldest learners work together.

Our Kindergarten students have been learning all about kindness in Religion this term. They explored what it means to show kindness to others and created their own colourful kindness rocks to remind us that small acts of love can make a big difference. We’re so proud of their gentle hearts and the way they are already living out kindness in our school community.

Year 5 had a fantastic time at their clay art incursion last week! Students spent the session creating their own clay cake sculptures, learning how natural clay is made and how to shape and add creative toppings. It was a fun, hands‑on way to explore sculpture techniques and express their artistic ideas. We loved seeing their focus, creativity, and pride in their finished pieces!

Last week, our Year 6 junior scientists had an unforgettable day at Bungarribee Park! Students joined Ranger Jaime for a hands‑on science session exploring the states of matter. They launched paper rockets, mixed up oobleck, and watched vinegar‑and‑bicarb rockets blast off as they investigated real‑life chemical reactions. A huge thank you to Ranger Jaime for such an engaging and wonderfully messy day of learning. Thank you to our Year 6 teachers for organising such a great day, and to our parent helpers for your assistance on the day!

On Friday, our Year 5 students led a fantastic whole‑grade assembly. To begin the assembly, they presented a beautiful Pentecost prayer, inviting us to reflect on the Holy Spirit and the joy it brings to our community. They also shared their learning about Macquarie Island, demonstrating strong research skills and confident speaking. We loved the persuasive drama performance too!! Thank you to our Year 5 students and teachers, and to everyone who attended!
