Hills Zone Athletics Carnival

Some of the OLA students who competed at the Hills Zone Athletics Carnival.

Yesterday, thirty-nine students represented our school at the Hills Zone Athletics Carnival at Blacktown Sports Centre.

It was a fun day of racing and competition. The participants were standing in their position ready to race. Competitors, take your marks, get set, BOOM went the starter pistol. Each student participated well, showed excellent sportsmanship to their peers and other competitors. Congratulations to everyone on their achievements. Although we did not come first, we tried our hardest and we will hopefully make it in next year.

Last week our Year 6 FIAT team had a wonderful day at Nagle College for LIFTED Jnr, a diocesan faith‑formation experience run by Catholic Youth Parramatta. With the theme “Finding Purpose with Pentecost”, guest speaker Lou Daniels invited students to reflect on two big questions: What is our purpose? and How does the Holy Spirit help us live it out? Through singing, dancing, prayer, and rich discussion, our students showed maturity, enthusiasm, and a genuine openness to faith and leadership. They represented our school with pride and kindness. A warm thank you to our parents for supporting transport and making this valuable experience possible. Thank you also to Mrs Hodgess and Mrs Aspinal for accompanying our students.
