5 Cs Spells Fun at OLA School

21 Sep 2017

Integrating the 5 Cs of 21st Century Learning is easy at Our Lady of the Angels School.

In the primary grades, this is done through Project Based Learning (PBL) and begins in Kindergarten with Discovery Learning. This style of learning develops skills in the areas of creativity, collaboration, cooperation, communication and critical thinking.

Kindergarten was learning about environments and Elijah Katzer chose the Australian bush. Here is his diorama which he made at school, complete with snake, "...because I love snakes'" said Elijah.

At the other end of school, Year 5 students finished their PBL unit of the 3 States of Matter with a day of cooking, heating, cooling and freezing all sorts of 'matter'. Ella Owen had fun turning her solids into liquid before adding heat to make solid again - in the form of a yummy cake.

    Year 6 have been learning about the difference between figurative and abstract art. They created some amazing artworks, showing both real-life images and creative, imaginative designs. Other grades loved visiting the exhibition and were so impressed by the creativity on display. Well done, Year 6!

A big well done to our students who have been elected by their peers to join the Student Representative Council (SRC) this semester. Each of these students was chosen for a variety of reasons—whether it be their kindness, positive attitude, responsibility, willingness to help others, or the way they lead by example. Each semester, more students are added to the SRC to recognise the wide range of achievements and contributions our students make to our school community. We can’t wait to see the great ideas and leadership you bring this semester!

Yesterday we celebrated a very special group of students at our traditional 'Student of the Term' Assembly (Principal's award), followed by a lovely morning tea with Mr Calabria and Mr Cauchi. Each of these students were chosen by their teachers for their consistent effort, kindness, and positive attitude throughout the term. They are quiet achievers, hard workers, and wonderful role models for their peers. It was a joy to acknowledge and celebrate their dedication — we are so proud of them!
