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.

Recently, our Year 6 scientists have been busy investigating forces in action! Students have been exploring how push, pull, friction, and gravity affect the movement of objects through hands‑on experiments. There has been plenty of curiosity, teamwork, and great discussion as they have been testing predictions and observing what really happens. Well done, Year 6 scientists- keep exploring!

What an exciting day at Our Lady of the Angels, as the Sydney Kings visited Stage 3! We were fortunate to welcome Sydney Kings players Bul Kuol and Keli Leaupepe, who spoke to our students about following their dreams, doing what they love, and never giving up. The message was simple but powerful- keep working hard, stay true to yourself, and believe in what’s possible. A huge thank you to the Sydney Kings for inspiring our kids today. Good luck in the semi‑finals this Wednesday- OLA is cheering for you!

Last Thursday, our students gathered for one of our favourite traditions, in honour of Catholic Schools Week- Rug Reading. There’s something so joyful about spreading out across the playground, sharing stories, and celebrating the simple pleasure of getting lost in a good book. A huge thank you to the families who joined us. It was lovely seeing families join in- it made the moment feel extra special for our little readers. At OLA, we know that we 'Read to Succeed'- and it’s even more powerful when the whole OLA family is part of the journey!

Today we joyfully celebrated the beginning of Catholic Schools Week with a beautiful liturgy led by our Student Leaders. Reflecting on the Samaritan woman at the well in the Gospel of John, we were reminded that Jesus meets us in the ordinary moments of our lives and fills us with “living water” — hope, grace and renewal. It was a powerful reflection on our mission in Catholic education: to nurture faith-filled learning, inspire excellence, and empower every child to grow, thrive and live out the Gospel through faith, learning and service. A sincere thank you to Ms Grima for thoughtfully organising our celebration, and to our School Captains for leading and presenting the liturgy so reverently today.
