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.

Thank you to Mrs Vella, Mrs Hodgess, Ms Bombardiere, and our Year 6 students who led us in a beautiful prayer this morning, acknowledging the significance of ANZAC Day. Thank you to Mr Alex Mangion from the Rooty Hill RSL Sub-Branch, who also joined us (Freya's Grandfather).

Yesterday, our students gathered for our Alleluia Liturgy, reflecting on the joy of Jesus’ Resurrection in their classrooms. They spent time thinking about what the Resurrection means for us today- hope, new life, and God’s love for everyone. It was a moment of faith, reminding our school community that the risen Jesus walks with us each day.
