Our Lady of the Angels Primary students are picking up the 5 Cs of 21st Century learning in a fun manner.
The 5 Cs are for creativity, collaboration, co-operation, communication and critical thinking.
According to principal Eva La Rocca, in the primary grades, this is done through project based learning (PBL) while the kindergarten students use discovery learning.
“This style of learning develops skills in the areas of creativity, collaboration, co-operation, communication and critical thinking,” Ms La Rocca said.
Kindergarten’s Elijah Katzer chose the Australian bush for his environmental subject, because, “I love snakes”.
Year 5 students finished their PBL unit of the three states of matter with a day of cooking, heating, cooling and freezing all sorts of matter.
Ella Owen had fun turning her solids into liquid before adding heat to make solid again — in the form of a yummy cake.

What a wonderful afternoon we had at OLA, where our Year 4 students showcased many of the fantastic things they've been learning this term. They began with a thoughtful prayer about the Visitation of Mary, showed some amazing Sidney Nolan-inspired Ned Kelly artworks, and even presented a persuasive debate asking: Was Ned Kelly a bully or a victim? We certainly learnt a lot about this fascinating figure in Australian history! A big thank you to our Year 4 students and teachers for their creativity and hard work, and to the families who came along to support them!![644505044136076_1298394042080503-1]()

It's the second OLA rival Footy game of the season tonight- who will win? Mr Calabria's Manly Sea Eagles or Mr Cauchi's Parramatta Eels? This round, our fun Wacky Wager between Mr Calabria and Mr Cauchi has been declared a truce, as Mr Calabria is currently on leave. The scoreboard remains untouched… for now! But don’t worry — the Wacky Wager will be back, bigger and better next season!

Today, we joined National Simultaneous Storytime by reading 'The Truck Cat'! Across the country, children came together to enjoy this heartwarming tale about a cat who finds an unexpected home on the road — and the truckie who learns that even tough journeys are better with a friend by your side. This story was about friendship, belonging, and the idea that home isn’t just a place — it’s the people (and pets!) you share it with. At OLA, we loved sharing in the joy of storytelling today!

Year 3 had a blast during their Science Incursion with Ranger Jamie’s team this week! They explored forces through hands-on activities like slime-making, billy cart rides, and rocket launching. The highlight? A liquid nitrogen explosion that sent 1,000 ping pong balls flying! Ranger Tash praised our students for their enthusiasm and said OLA was the cleanest school she’s visited. Well done, Year 3!
