Once again the Our Lady of the Angels Swimming Carnival was a big success.
While it was a little bit rainy in the morning, but the sun soon came out and the day was lots of fun. We started with the 50m races and were amazed by how many students took part in each event. It was great to see how many students could swim so far and so quickly!
The novelty events made sure that we all got to have a swim, and the noodle races were still really competitive. We finished off the day with the 25m races and saw that lots of people who could have swum the full 50m length of the pool instead of the 25m.
We would like to thank all of the House Captains for all of their hard work and time that they put into making the day a success, coming up with the awesome chants. Every house did an amazing job cheering on their team and they really showed excellent OLA spirit.

We would like to congratulate all of the students who participated and raced in the many organised events, including the Novelty races. All the students who raced showed great sportsmanship and did an amazing job!
Lastly, the sports captains would like to congratulate all of the students who broke records and all of the children who made it to the Hills Zone Carnival. We wish you all the best of luck!

Last week, Year 3 had a fantastic time on their excursion at Penrith Lakes, exploring the natural environment and learning about the world around them. Students enjoyed hands-on experiences as they investigated plants, animals, and ecosystems, while discovering how scientists use information to help care for our environment and solve real-world problems. Thank you to our Year 3 teachers for organising this excursion, and to the parent helpers for joining us!

Yesterday, we paused to remember. As a school community, we honoured the brave men and women who served our country, taking time to reflect on their courage, sacrifice, and the lasting impact of their service. Through prayer, reflection, and a minute's silence, students were reminded of the importance of gratitude, peace, and remembrance. Lest we forget.

This morning, we welcomed our grandparents and special visitors for a wonderful Grandparents’ Day celebration at OLA. Thank you to Year 2 for leading us in a beautiful liturgy, and to our students who shone throughout the assembly, sharing their talents through singing, dancing, music, and presentations. We also loved welcoming our guests into the classrooms after enjoying a lovely morning tea. A huge thank you to our staff, students, P&F, and parent volunteers for making the morning so special. We were delighted to hear the many kind words from our visitors about the warm community spirit and quality Catholic education that make OLA such a special place!

On Friday, our Kindergarten students proudly presented their very first Whole School Assembly, and what a wonderful showcase it was! Our students confidently shared their learning in Religion, Science, and Creative Arts, giving everyone a glimpse into the exciting learning taking place in Kindergarten. Their performance of The Cranky Bear was a highlight of the assembly, bringing plenty of smiles and laughter to the audience with their enthusiasm and expression. We are so proud of the confidence, creativity and teamwork our Kindergarten students demonstrated as they performed in front of the whole school community. For many of them, this was their first experience presenting at a whole school event, making it an extra special milestone. A huge thank you to our Kindergarten teachers for the time, dedication, and preparation that went into making the assembly such a success, and thank you to our families who joined us to celebrate and support our students. Well done, Kindergarten!

Last week, OLA students and staff took part in our vibrant sock mufti for Catholic Mission's Socktober. It was a delight to see the school get into the spirit throughout the week, with the activities led by our Faith in Action Team during lunchtime for each year group. It is always a pleasure to see our community work together to spread the love of Christ. Thank you to all of our families who donated. Thank you for your generosity. To date, we have raised over $1,000 that will provide better educational facilities for the people of Malawi. It is wonderful to see our community helping those less fortunate!
