100th day of big school for OLA Kinders.
There were hundred of reasons for Kindergarten students at Our Lady of the Angels, Rouse Hill, to be happy last Friday.
They celebrated '100 days of school' by engaging in many different '100' based activities. Some of these were making necklaces from 100 Fruit-loops, painting 'what I will look like when I am 100', skipping, hopping and jumping to 100, making trains of 100 cubes and funky 100 glasses. The grand finale was lining up to make a 100 numeral on the playground.
"The students had lots of fun while learning about '100'. The other teachers and I would especially like to thank the parents who came in to help. It wouldn't have been possible without them," said Kindergarten teacher, Andrew Baker.
School Principal, Mrs La Rocca, added that OLA has professional and dedicated teachers and working in partnership with parents is a highly valued part of the learning culture at our school.

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.

Year 1 had the most wonderful day last week, exploring the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney. Filled with excitement, our students wandered through the gardens, discovering all the natural and built features around them. Through hands‑on activities and a guided walk, they explored different spaces, created simple maps, and learned how we can all care for our environment. It was a fun‑filled day of learning, laughter and adventure- and a fantastic way to bring our Geography unit to life. So many happy memories made! Thank you to the Year 1 teachers for organising it, and to the parent helpers for joining us!

Our Infants and Primary teachers had an absolute blast on Friday, just like the students, as they took on the Inflatable Obstacle Course- and yes, the healthy competition was very real. Lots of laughs, lots of cheering, and plenty of impressive moves from our staff. OLA spirit at its best!

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!

Our OLA Feast Day celebrations on Friday were a blast! After a beautiful Mass, our students jumped straight into an afternoon of ZING Activ activities- games, teamwork, laughter, and, of course, the crowd favourite, the inflatable obstacle course! Thank you to Miss Grima for her fantastic organisation and to all our teachers who joined in the fun and helped make the day so special. We are very lucky to be at OLA!
