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.

Today our OLA students filled the playground with colour, creativity and so much joy as they stepped into the shoes of their favourite book characters. It was a wonderful celebration of our shared love of reading. We also enjoyed one of our favourite traditions- Rug Reading, where students relaxed with their books and soaked up the magic of stories together. And to top it all off, our staff surprised everyone with their own version of “We’re Going on an OLA Koala Hunt”, which had students cheering, laughing and joining in. A huge thank you to all our families for the incredible effort you put into costumes and to everyone who joined us today. Your support makes these events truly special! At OLA, we proudly READ TO SUCCEED.
