Green house captains Jade and Patrick
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 night marked the final chapter of our Year 6 students’ primary school journey as we celebrated their Graduation Mass. Together we prayed and gave thanks for the guidance of their parents, OLA staff, and God throughout their seven years at primary school. We also acknowledged the achievements of students who received special awards, before finishing with a touching moment- our Year 6 students forming a guard of honour for their parents. Thank you to the Year 6 teachers, Miss Grima, and all the staff involved in this special celebration. We wish our graduates many more days filled with faith, fun, and learning as they begin their high school adventure.

Yesterday, we celebrated our Year 6 students finishing their primary school journey. It was such a special moment as the whole school, together with parents, formed a guard of honour through the grounds, cheering them on as they walked proudly for the last time as OLA students. We are so proud of their achievements, their growth, and the wonderful memories they’ve created here. As they step into High School, we send them off with love, encouragement, and the reminder that they will always be part of our OLA family.

Last week, our Year 6 and Kindergarten students enjoyed a final catch‑up with their buddies, sharing smiles, memories, and exchanging special gifts. Having buddies is such a special part of life at OLA, creating friendships, role models, and moments the children will treasure long after the year ends!

In Science this term, Kindergarten has been learning all about forces. Last week, the children used recycled materials to design and make a functioning ramp. The children then used round objects to test whether their ramp would successfully allow the item to roll down. They had so much fun creating their own little masterpieces!
