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.

Last week, OLA students and staff took part in our vibrant sock mufti for Catholic Mission's Socktober. It was a delight to see the school get into the spirit throughout the week, with the activities led by our Faith in Action Team during lunchtime for each year group. It is always a pleasure to see our community work together to spread the love of Christ. Thank you to all of our families who donated. Thank you for your generosity. To date, we have raised over $1,000 that will provide better educational facilities for the people of Malawi. It is wonderful to see our community helping those less fortunate!
