STEM at OLA

STEM at OLA is growing and and climbing in student engagement and activity.

Select teachers have embraced the role to carry out a range of STEM activities each week. The program is targeting Stage 2 students. In this activity, students had the task of making the tallest tower using 32 toothpicks and a small stick of blutac.

'It is clear there are some budding structural engineers in this group," said teacher Kimberly Marchant.

The students are very excited and enthusiastic to be involved in these sessions. I, also, am learning so much along with them.

Yesterday, our school community came together to celebrate Harmony Day at Our Lady of the Angels. It was a beautiful reminder that everyone belongs, and that our differences make us stronger. Through our Gospel values, we teach our students the importance of inclusiveness, respect, and welcoming others with open hearts. Jesus showed love and acceptance to every person He encountered, and we continue to follow His example in the way we learn, play, and care for one another. What a wonderful day to celebrate the rich diversity within our OLA family.

Congratulations to our Year 3 students who will celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation this weekend. We ask for Christ’s blessings upon them as they receive this life-giving sacrament. May they truly feel the warmth of God's unconditional love and know that He will always forgive them!
