The contemporary and collaborative design of Our Lady of the Angels (OLA) Primary School in Kellyville is a winner!
The design and build of the new school building was recognised in the 2017 NSW Chapter Awards for Learning Environments Australasia with a category one award for New Facility Construction.
OLA Principal Eva La Rocca said the final stage of the six year project saw architect, Brett Anderson from DeAngelis Taylor, work closely with the school leadership team to come up with a state-of-the-art design for a stimulating learning space that meets the needs of students and teachers in delivering 21st century learning.
‘I am privileged to have been associated with this talented group of architects who listened to our needs and, of course, I am thrilled and proud that our school has received this recognition,’ Mrs La Rocca said.
‘It is an additional accolade to what is already a very proud school community – staff, students and families.’
The exciting project aimed to create an up-to-date learning environment to support teamwork and was built in two stages with the assistance of Commonwealth Funding. Features include an atrium, known to students as a “Learning Street”, designed to encourage students and teachers to work together. The Learning Centre, complete with “Learning Street”, two-storey cubby house and café, caters for students from Year 1 to Year 6, providing a really vibrant place to play and learn.

After a few weather delays, our Stage 2 Soccer Gala Day finally went ahead last Tuesday! Two boys’ and two girls’ teams played seven fast‑paced games each, showing great teamwork and sportsmanship. A special shout‑out to our OLA Girls Teal team, who went undefeated all day without conceding a single goal- finishing second in their pool after a couple of nil‑all draws. Thank you to our wonderful parents for cheering on our players and to those who volunteered to coach and manage teams- we couldn’t do it without you!

Our Year 3 students have been exploring Australia in Geography this term. Over the past few weeks, they’ve researched their chosen state or territory, selected landmarks, and planned how to represent the climate, animals, and landscapes of their region. This week, students proudly made and showcased their dioramas to parents and teachers, explaining their design choices and what they discovered about Australia’s diverse environments. A big well done to all our Year 3 students for their creativity and effort, and thank you to our teachers for guiding this wonderful learning experience.
