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.

Our Kindergarten students recently brought in objects from home to help them learn about 3D shapes. They had a great time identifying spheres, cubes, cones, and cylinders, and discussing their features. What a fun and hands-on way to connect learning to the real world! Well done, Kindy!

Scientists at work- Kindergarten had lots of fun exploring different materials in Science these past few weeks! This week they investigated their own toys to discover what they are made from—like plastic, metal, fabric, and wood—and discussed why certain materials are used. A great hands-on way to build their understanding of the world around them!

Year 4 had a fantastic time learning about volume (internal capacity) by measuring and comparing different containers using water. It was a great way to make learning practical and fun—plus, they loved soaking up the sunshine while they worked! Great job, Year 4!

Our Year 6 students have been busy designing and creating incredible projects as part of their Science unit on forces. They explored how push, pull, gravity, and friction work in real-life designs. It was wonderful to see their creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills in action. Well done, Year 6 – future engineers in the making!
