Boys playing with lego and having fun building.
Kindergarten have had a great start to their first weeks of school.
Some of the activities we have been doing include reading stories, making numbers with counters and learning some new prayers. Kindergarten students have enjoyed meeting new friends and their teachers.
We are looking forward to watching the students grow and learn throughout the year and all those beyond while at OLA. We welcome all the new families into our wonderful school community.
Here are the thoughts of two kindergarten students about what they have enjoyed about their first week.
I liked to play with the Lego.

Today our OLA students filled the playground with colour, creativity and so much joy as they stepped into the shoes of their favourite book characters. It was a wonderful celebration of our shared love of reading. We also enjoyed one of our favourite traditions- Rug Reading, where students relaxed with their books and soaked up the magic of stories together. And to top it all off, our staff surprised everyone with their own version of “We’re Going on an OLA Koala Hunt”, which had students cheering, laughing and joining in. A huge thank you to all our families for the incredible effort you put into costumes and to everyone who joined us today. Your support makes these events truly special! At OLA, we proudly READ TO SUCCEED.

A huge thank you to Mrs Vella, Mrs Hodgess, Mr Cauchi and Mr Campbell for giving up time with their families, supporting our students, and keeping them safe. Your care and commitment make experiences like this possible! We bet everyone slept well last night!!
