Jade, Hollie, Seronique and Claudia prior to their race.
The OLA School community is extremely proud of Hollie F., Jade R., Seronique T. and Claudia C.
The students competed at the State Athletics Carnival representing the MacKillop team in the 4 x 100m relay team at the Sydney Athletics Centre, Homebush.
All four girls were nervous but excited at the same time. The girls ran well and their baton change was flawless. The girls finished 6th in their heat and 27th overall.
This was history in the making for our new school. The girls can be very proud of their achievements as are their parents who were there to support them. Well done girls.
The girls huddled together and giving each other words of encouragement.

Today, on Good Friday, we pause to remember the incredible love and sacrifice shown by Jesus on the cross. This day invites us to slow down, reflect, and hold onto the hope, forgiveness, and faith that Good Friday reminds us of. As we think about the meaning of the cross, may we find a sense of peace and gratitude in our hearts. Wishing our OLA community a blessed and meaningful Good Friday.
