The OLA community has shown generosity through the giving of warm clothes and blankets.
It is amazing looking at the kindness of our OLA families. Through this kindness we have lived out Sunday’s Gospel, by providing warmth to those who have nothing. Sometimes it is not just the items supplied but the willingness to work together as a community to provide for the less fortunate.
By seeing a need, we are thinking of those people that encounter hardships and therefore in one way we are praying for them. This is the true gift, that God’s love has been reflected through actions and words.
From our SRC students…
OLA had Pyjama Day. We got to wear our favourite PJ’s to school. We were asked to bring in some warm things like scarves, blankets, gloves and other clothing for those who are poor and cold during the Winter Season. At first break we got to organise some fun games for the school to enjoy! We did races, relays, guessing competitions and many more. We had two competitions which were a Jelly Bean and a Skittle competition. For the competitions you had to guess how many Jelly Beans or skittles were in the jar.

From Mini Vinnies Group:
“I am very happy to say that our social justice program has been a great success and that we have had a lot of donations over the last week. Pyjama Day does not just mean we have to dress up in our pyjamas at school. In fact, on pyjama day we think about all the people in the world who live on the streets or are not wealthy but poor. Thank you for your clothes, blankets, scarves and other items you have donated.”

As part of their Geography unit, Year 2 went on a walking excursion on Friday to explore the places around them! They visited Rouse Hill Town Centre and identified a range of natural and built features in their local environment. This was a great way to bring learning to life! Thank you to the Year 2 teachers for organising this excursion, and to all of the wonderful parent helpers who joined us!

Last week, our Kindergarten scientists investigated which material keeps a sandwich freshest – plastic wrap, foil, or a paper bag. This sparked lots of curiosity and great discussion!

On Thursday, our students at OLA were treated to 'The Protectors' by Brainstorm Productions – a fun and powerful performance about well-being, resilience, and staying safe. They followed characters Leo and Serena as they used their “superpowers” such as empathy, confidence, setting boundaries, and asking for help to face everyday challenges. The show sparked great discussion and reflection, and we encourage families to keep the conversation going at home!

Last week, Uncle Ted Langford from the Jarara Team at Catholic Schools, Parramatta Diocese, came to visit and lead a few of our students in a ‘Yarning Circle’. They discussed the many countries that comprise the map of Indigenous Australia, as well as the symbolism in art and song. They also looked at different tools as well as the importance of storytelling.

Today, we celebrate Pentecost, a special time in our Church when we remember the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples. On Friday, our students gathered for a beautiful liturgy and prayed, sang, and reflected on how we can be people of courage, kindness, and faith, just like the disciples were. Thank you to our staff and students for making the liturgy so meaningful. A special thank you to Mr. Lee and the FIAT team, and to the parents who joined us and spoke in their native languages, just as the disciples spoke in many tongues when the Holy Spirit came upon them. Come, Holy Spirit!
