Faith at Work is the theme of the Diocesan Works Fund (DWF) Appeal being held in parishes and Catholic schools during the month of May.
This appeal gives the opportunity to act together as a diocesan family to support ministries and services that no single individual or parish can offer.

In helping to support this appeal, OLA had Pyjama Day in which students and teachers were able to wear their favourite pyjamas to school. It was great to see everyone getting on board with this worthy cause. Everyone would agree that it was a great day to be dressed in our comfy pjs and uggs.
Thank you to everyone for their support and generous donations.

Congratulations to our talented Stage 3 Senior Dance Crew on their outstanding achievement at the Ryde Eisteddfod today, where they competed against 13 schools from across Sydney. The students were awarded an incredible 3rd place with a fantastic score of 91/100. After weeks of dedicated rehearsals and many lunch times spent practising, the girls took to the stage with confidence, energy and beautiful facial expressions, delivering a performance they should be incredibly proud of. What made us most proud, however, was the way they represented our school. They displayed exceptional sportsmanship throughout the day, enthusiastically cheering on and congratulating students from other schools. Their respect, kindness and encouragement reflected our school values beautifully. Congratulations to our Senior Dance Crew on this wonderful achievement. We are incredibly proud of you! A big thank you to Miss Hogan and Mrs Hodgess for your time and dedication to these students, and to all of our parents and teachers, Mrs Gow and Mr Calabria, who came to support and cheer us on!

On Friday, Year 4 completed many practical activities to consider the changes that took place throughout the world during the Age of Exploration. Students searched the oval as explorers trying to find the Great Southern Land. They searched for a new tropical paradise (with their eyes closed!) using newly developed technologies like the astrolabe to help them find their way. This helped them to realise how hard it was for the explorers. They also compared the journeys of Captain James Cook and Captain Matthew Flinders. It was a big day full of excitement and games!

The first Sunday of the school holidays called for a little friendly OLA footy rivalry! Mr Calabria and Mr Cauchi headed along to the Parramatta Eels vs Manly Sea Eagles clash to cheer on their teams. Let's just say... Mr Cauchi walked away the happier of the two! Now all eyes are on tomorrow, when our wacky wager will be settled!

What's It Really Like to Send Your Kid to a Catholic School?
If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.
