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.

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!
