One of the Stage 2 girls soccer team.
On Thursday, thirty-eight Year 4 boys and girls represented OLA at the Stage 2 Soccer Gala Day held at Jamison Park, Penrith.
Grey clouds gathered as the day started with but, as it progressed, the sun shone on the soccer fields and a gorgeous, sunny day eventuated. All four teams worked well throughout the day as a team and communicated well to get the ball into their goal area.
For many girls, this was their first experience of playing soccer. The girls scored a lot of goals and defended well throughout each game. They experienced lots of wins; some loses and even drew a few games. Overall, the girls played well and even laughed at their own mistakes.
The two boys teams also had a wonderful day. Each team played well, showed lots of skill and great sportsmanship. Both teams came second in their draw and after eight matches they all went home a little muddy and exhausted.

A huge congratulations to our amazing Year 4 students on a beautiful Whole School assembly on Friday! Their exploration of Jackie French’s Fire and Drought this term truly came to life through thoughtful reflections, an amazing poem, expressive artworks, and original rhyming stanzas. The creativity on display was inspiring, and we couldn’t be prouder of the way they shared their learning with our school community! Thank you to everyone who attended!

Our Year 5 Faith in Action Team attended the Vinnies Encounter Day at St John Paul II College. Students learned about keeping the “fire of Christ” alive by serving others with a listening heart. They explored the challenges faced by people experiencing hardship and how Vinnies offers a hand‑up to help restore dignity and stability. Our students represented OLA proudly- speaking confidently, sharing our Winter Appeal efforts, and even taking on the Patrician Brothers in a game of handball. Thank you to Mrs Petrocco and Mr Lee for accompanying the group.
