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.

Yesterday our Kinder students celebrated 100 days of school- 100 days of faith, fun, and learning together at OLA! The day was filled with creative activities based around the number 100- counting, building, crafting, and laughing their way through this special milestone. We have loved watching our littlest learners grow in confidence, curiosity, and friendship. A huge thank you to our amazing Kinder teachers for planning such a joyful celebration, and to our wonderful parent helpers for their support throughout the day. We are so proud of the littlest members of our OLA family. We are grateful for the joy, energy, and smiles our Kinder students bring to our OLA community every single day!

What a special few days we’ve had celebrating our OLA Feast Day. Yesterday we were so proud of our captains, Cameron and Sarah, who led the procession so beautifully after Mass. Our Band, Choir and Senior Dance Crew also shone at the Fiesta, sharing their talents and representing OLA with pride. The celebrations ended with a stunning fireworks display that lit up the sky- enjoyed not just by our school and Parish community, but by families all around the neighbourhood. What a joyful way to celebrate OLA!

What a wonderful Year 2 Assembly we enjoyed on Friday. The students led us in a thoughtful Mary MacKillop liturgy, reminding our community of her powerful message: “Never see a need without doing something about it.” Their reverence and understanding shone through beautifully. We were also treated to an impressive showcase of their learning- from their creative artworks, where students proudly shared the ideas and techniques behind their pieces, to their growing geography knowledge, confidently naming and explaining the continents they’ve been studying. Year 2 students and teachers, thank you for sharing your faith, creativity, and curiosity with us. Your learning continues to inspire our whole school community. Thank you to the parents and families who joined us for this assembly!

Today we celebrate and appreciate Mr Calabria on Principal's Day- a leader who brings warmth, care and joy to our OLA community every single day. He ensures our school is a place where everyone feels safe, happy and supported, and where each day is filled with faith, fun and learning. At our assembly, the students shared a beautiful acrostic poem they had written to show just how thankful they are for him. Their words reflected the positivity he brings to our school. Mr Calabria knows our students, supports our teachers, welcomes our families, and helps make OLA a place where everyone belongs. On behalf of our students, teachers, parents, and the whole OLA community, we thank him for who he is and for all he does. We are truly grateful!

Yesterday our Kindergarten students went on their very first excursion to Calmsley Hill City Farm- and what a day it was! The children loved all the hands‑on experiences, meeting the animals, watching the farm shows, and of course, the biggest highlight… the tractor ride! A huge thank you to our wonderful teachers for organising it and our parent helpers for joining us and making the day so special.

Our Kindergarten students kicked off their new Religious Education unit on celebrations and community by hosting a birthday party for their teachers’ special teddies! They played fun party games, danced together, and shared lots of laughs. They finished the celebration by enjoying lunch with their Year 6 buddies. It was a special way to explore how celebrations bring people together, create a sense of belonging and strengthen community.
